The global sediment cycle is a fundamental feature of the Earth system, balancing
competing factors such as orogeny, physical–chemical erosion and human action. In this …

Assessments of the implications of soil erosion require quantification of soil erosion rates
(SE) and sediment yield (SSY) at regional scales under present and future climate and land …

Here we provide global estimates of the seasonal flux of sediment, on a river-by-river basis,
under modern and prehuman conditions. Humans have simultaneously increased the …

Hyperpycnal flows form in the marine environment when river discharge enters the ocean
with suspended concentrations in excess of 36 kg m− 3 due to buoyancy considerations, or …

A consistent database was established to characterize key environmental factors known to
control delta morphology. The database includes the location, basin morphology, fluvial and …

Riverbank migration has historically been seen as a risk to infrastructure that can be
combated through channelization, bank stabilization, and sediment trap**. The physical …

Submarine landslides pose a hazard to coastal communities as they can generate powerful
tsunamis, and threaten critical offshore infrastructure such as seafloor cable networks that …

Several studies have compiled and analysed measured contemporary catchment sediment
yield (SY,[t km− 2 y− 1]) values for various regions of the world. Although this has …

Establishing a quantitative description of global riverine fluxes is one of the main goals of
contemporary hydrology and geomorphology. Here we study changes in global riverine …

Bedload is notoriously challenging to measure and model; its dynamics, therefore, remains
largely unknown in most fluvial systems worldwide. We present results from a global scale …
