Developing a quantitative understanding of how controlling physical mechanisms of delta formation relate to the channel networks they imprint on the landscape remains an open problem, hindering further progress on quantitative delta classification and understanding process from form. Here we isolate the effect of sediment composition on network structure by analyzing Delft3D river-dominated deltas within the recently introduced graph-theoretic framework for quantifying complexity of delta channel networks. We demonstrate that deltas with coarser incoming sediment tend to be more complex topologically (increased number of pathways) but simpler dynamically (reduced flux exchange between subnetworks) and that once a morphodynamic steady state is reached, complexity also achieves a steady state. By positioning simulated deltas on the so-called TopoDynamic complexity space and comparing with field deltas, we propose a quantitative framework for exploring complexity toward systematic inference and classification. 000167866 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000167866 590__ $$a4.253$$b2016 000167866 591__ $$aGEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY$$b14 / 188 = 0.074$$c2016$$dQ1$$eT1 000167866 592__ $$a2.819$$b2016 000167866 593__ $$aGeophysics$$c2016$$dQ1 000167866 593__ $$aEarth and Planetary Sciences (miscellaneous)$$c2016$$dQ1 000167866 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000167866 700__ $$aLongjas, Anthony 000167866 700__ $$aCaldwell, Rebecca 000167866 700__ $$aEdmonds, Douglas A. 000167866 700__ $$aZaliapin, Ilya 000167866 700__ $$aFoufoula-Georgiou, Efi 000167866 773__ $$g43, 7 (2016), 3280-3287$$pGeophys. res. lett.$$tGeophysical Research Letters$$x0094-8276 000167866 8564_ $$s618655$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/167866/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yVersión publicada 000167866 8564_ $$s2888561$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/167866/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yVersión publicada 000167866 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:167866$$particulos$$pdriver 000167866 951__ $$a2026-01-21-14:55:15 000167866 980__ $$aARTICLE
