Relationships Between the Sand Cycle and the Behaviour of Small River Mouths: A Neglected Process / O Ciclo Da Areia E O Comportamento De Estuários De Rios Pequenos: Um Processo Negligenciado

Abstract: This article aims to advance in the knowledge of the relationships between the sand cycle and the behaviour of small river mouths (outlets) flowing into sandy beaches in the Río de la Plata estuary, Uruguay. The bars of these watercourses respond quickly with processes of erosion and/or migration of the channel when the "sand cycle" (coastal sedimentary balance) undergoes modifications, due to i) the effect of the fixation of dunes (sediments) by afforestation with exotic species and ii) the construction of in… Show more

“…Thus, any potential narrowing of this foreland system could be interpreted as a response to this river mouth behaviour. Similar behaviour has also been described adjacent to small rivers flowing into the Río de la Plata estuary, Uruguay (Gutíerrez et al, 2018). These examples illustrate how within-system sediment supply and transport can significantly modify foreland dynamics, independent of direct external forcing.…”
