Abstract: | The problems of studying river mouth areas and their parts, namely, estuaries and deltas are discussed. The step is taken to combine the concept of river mouth area and mouth processes developed in our country with the concept for estuary and estuarine processes widely spread among foreign scientists. In this connection, the article offers new definitions of a river mouth area and estuary as well as new schemes of regionalization of river mouth areas and typification of estuaries. The types of river mouth areas and estuaries are illustrated by case studies. |
