- •
Rate and timing of sedimentation were examined at the altered Nakdong Estuary of Korea.
- •
Altimeter observed episodic sedimentation of 6 cm during summer discharge in the main channel.
- •
Sediment flux gradient was the main mechanism for the deposition during high discharge.
- •
Gradual deposition of 4 cm also corresponds to the long-term rate in the west Nakdong.
- •
Wave-enhanced sediment flux was the primary mechanism for gradual deposition.
