The IPCC released its AR6 report from the Working Group II, entitled “Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability”. Three of our papers were cited in the report to support the evidence of climate change on soil erosion and sediment loads. (Chapter 4 on Water and Cross chapter 5 on mountains). Below are the examples: Read More…
Dongfeng gave a talk at Oxford Geography this Friday
Invited by Dr. Sihan Li from the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford, Dongfeng gave an online talk entitled “Reading the story of climate change from fluvial sediment loads: the case of High Mountain Asia”. It was exciting to see UK geographers are also keen on sediment dynamics in High Mountain Asia. Read More…

New paper out in Science: Rising fluvial sediment in a warmer and wetter High Mountain Asia
Our paper “Exceptional increases in fluvial sediment fluxes in a warmer and wetter High Mountain Asia“ has been published in Science magazine! https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.abi9649 Stories behind the paper can be found in some news outlets: NUS news; CU Boulder news; Scientific American; Science Daily; PhysOrg……
New paper out in WRR: modelling suspended sediment in cold environments
Our new paper “Constraining Dynamic Sediment-Discharge Relationships in Cold Environments: the Sediment-Availability-Transport (SAT) Model” has been published in WRR! See here For the first time, we modelled the time-varying sediment availability in cold environments by integrating the factor of basin temeprature. It highlights three key points: Glacier-snow-permafrost melting elevates sediment availability by enlarging erodible landscapes and enhancing Read More…

New paper out in Water Resources Research
My paper “Air temperature regulates erodible landscape, water and sediment fluxes in the permafrost-dominated catchment on the Tibetan Plateau“ has been published in WRR! See here It is well-known that the Tibetan Plateau has the largest Alpine permafrost in the world, yet its impact on riverine water discharge and sediment fluxes have been overlooked by previous Read More…
