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 …

China's Loess Plateau is both the largest and deepest loess deposit in the world, and it has
long been one of the most severely eroded areas on Earth. Since the 1970s, numerous soil …

The erosion, transport and redeposition of sediments shape the Earth's surface, and affect
the structure and function of ecosystems and society,. The Yellow River was once the world's …

As one of the best‐known areas in the world, the Loess Plateau, has long been suffering
from serious soil erosion. The present paper reviewed the historical variation of climate …

Abstract The Yellow River Basin (YRB), which has faced severe ecological issues since
ancient times, is one of the largest and most difficult-to-govern basins in the world. Recently …

Using 50years of hydrologic and bathymetric data, we show that construction of~ 50,000
dams throughout the Yangtze River watershed, particularly the 2003 closing of the Three …

Deltas are highly sensitive to increasing risks arising from local human activities, land
subsidence, regional water management, global sea-level rise, and climate extremes. We …

The principal nature-based solution for offsetting relative sea-level rise in the Ganges-
Brahmaputra delta is the unabated delivery, dispersal, and deposition of the rivers'~ 1 billion …

Data and computer simulations are reviewed to help better define the timing and magnitude
of human influence on sediment flux—the Anthropocene epoch. Impacts on the Earth …

Although large dams have been constructed and continue to be constructed on many rivers,
the lack of long-term gauging data often makes it difficult to document either reservoir …
