A delta is a landform that is created at the mouth of a river where that river flows into an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, flat arid area, or another river. Deltas are formed from the deposition of the sediment carried by the river as the flow leaves the mouth of the river. Over long periods of time, this deposition builds the characteristic geographic pattern of a river delta. This book presents current research on river deltas from across a broad spectrum including such topics as the current carbon source in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta of California; limnology of the Nile Delta Lakes; soil fertility changes of the Yangtze River Delta region; the Ebro Delta on the Spanish Northeast Mediterranean coast and a political and ecological perspective on the Pearl River Delta of China.

Deltas are amongst the most environmentally and economically important coastal sedimentary environments. Studies of deltas lag behind research in both fluvial and deep-water depositional systems, as well as more geomorphologically oriented land studies. This knowledge lag reflects both a reorientation of the petroleum industry in the last two decades toward deep-water systems, as well as the difficulty of working across the shoreline with the traditional tools used for oceanographic or land-based work. However, deltaic studies are experiencing a renewed focus, because of their global importance in environmental and other societal concerns. This volume stems from a special session: "Deltas: Old and New", held at the Annual Geological Society of America conference in October 2002, that was convened to highlight these new directions in deltaic research.

The delta was studied to determine the time scale and mechanisms by which river sand was incorporated into the longshore transport regime. The results are pertinent to sediment management on coasts with Mediterranean type climates and drainages. On such coasts, generally, rivers supply most of the littoral sand yet the bulk of this supply accompanies large infrequent floods. In contrast, the nearshore transport processes operate with much greater continuity and regularity. The delta studied was built by a 30-year return period flood at the mouth of the San Lorenzo River. The peak discharge at the river mouth during this flood was about 1,100 cu m/sec. The river drains an area of 357 sq km on the northern shore of Montertey Bay. There, most wave energy arrives as swell from the northwest and, except during brief flood periods, it dominates the river outflow. As a result, the San Lorenzo delta is an ephermeral feature. The study extended two years: in both years the river's supply of sand and gravel was about 300,000 cu m ten times its mean annual supply and equivalent to almost twice the mean annual net longshore transport past the mouth. Methods of investigation included: surveys of nearshore topography, estimates of the river's littoral sediment yield using river flow data and river channel surveys, and estimates of the longshore variation in longshore-transport potential using a wave refraction program. The surveyed sand level changes provided a means of tracing bulk sand movements. The longshore transport predictions were used to confirm the direction of sand movement.
