  abstract = {{T}his study explores the seasonal and tidal changes in flow and suspended matter dynamics in the tropical and macrotidal {V}an {U}c {R}iver estuary ({N}orth {V}ietnam) and aims at understanding, among others, the sediment delivery to the ocean and the processes behind the estuarine siltation. {F}our campaigns took place during the contrasting high flow and low flow seasons, for each during neap and spring tides. {W}ater and suspended matter fluxes, salinity, turbidity and particle size distribution ({PSD}) were measured for 24 h at three cross sections along the estuary. {D}uring the high-flow season, the estuary was mixed, with seaward sediment flux during neap tide and ephemeral up-estuary sediment flux at spring tides due to tidal distortion. {D}uring the low-flow season, the system transitioned from partially mixed to highly stratified with salty waters intrusions, salt wedge presence and up-estuary sediment flux varying with the tidal regime. {T}he highest up-estuary sediment flow occurred during low-flow at spring tides and represented 2/3 of the outflow. {T}he lower river discharge, the higher {PSD} variation. {T}he increasing proportion of microflocs with increasing salinity as compared to primary particles and flocculi was observed at both seasons. {H}igher tidal variations of {PSD} at spring tides indicate the strong effect of turbulent shear. {T}hese findings also provide a new benchmark for hydro-sedimentary model calibration/validation.},
