The competing controls of glaciers, precipitation, and vegetation on high-mountain fluvial sediment yields Open
Investigating erosion and river sediment yield in high-mountain areas is crucial for understanding landscape and biogeochemical responses to environmental change. We compile data on contemporary fluvial suspended sediment yield (SSY) and 1…

Warming and wetting-driven increases in landscape instability and river sediment loads in High Mountain Asia Open
High Mountain Asia, encompassing the Tibetan Plateau and the surrounding high Asian mountains, has been experiencing a warmer and wetter climate since the 1950s. The amplified climate change has resulted in rapid glacier retreat and permaf…

Warming-driven erosion and sediment transport in the world’s cold regions Open
The world’s cryospheric regions, ranging from high mountains to polar regions, have experienced unprecedented atmospheric warming, glacier melting and permafrost thawing since the mid-20th century. This rapid cryosphere degradation h…

Increasing cryospheric hazards and sediment supply threaten water quality and hydropower systems in high mountain areas Open
Global warming-induced melting and thawing of the cryosphere are rapidly changing hydrogeomorphic processes and cryospheric hazards in high mountain areas worldwide. These processes and hazards include glacial retreat and collapses, permaf…

Modern landscape change in High Mountain Asia (1950-present) Open
<p>High Mountain Asia (HMA) &#8211; the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding high Asian mountains &#8211; is now experiencing amplified climate change, glacier melt, and permafrost thaw. The rapid climate change and melting and th…

Substantial increases in riverine sediment loads in a warmer and wetter Third Pole Open
<p>Rivers originating in the Third Pole (Tibetan Plateau and surrounding high-Asian mountains) are crucial lifelines for one-third of the world&#8217;s population. These fragile headwaters are now experiencing amplified climate c…

Quantifying the temporal variation of the contribution of fine sediment sources to sediment yields from Chilean forested catchments during harvesting operations Open
Fingerprinting techniques were incorporated into a paired catchment investigation in southern Chile to quantify the contribution of three fine sediment sources (catchment surfaces, forest roads and stream channels) to catchment suspended s…
