Our new paper ‘The competing controls of glaciers, precipitation, and vegetation on high-mountain fluvial sediment yields’ is out in Science Advances! We compile data on contemporary fluvial suspended sediment yield (SSY) and 12 environmental proxies from 151 rivers in High Mountain Asia surrounding the Tibetan Plateau. We demonstrate that glaciers exert a first-order control on Read More…

Dongfeng gave a talk about scientific writing and peer review together with JGR ES editor Amy East
On August 30, Dongfeng gave a online talk about scientific writing and peer review together with JGR ES editor Amy East. Over 2000 early-career researchers joined the workshop, and the recorded video can be found here https://www.koushare.com/live/details/36875 To date (Sep 5), there are 3767 watchings!
Dongfeng gave a talk in the ‘Landscapes Live Online Webinar Series’
Dongfeng gave a talk entitled ‘Modern climate change-driven landscape processes in cryospheric basins’, at the EGU Landscapes Live Online Webinar Series. The recorded video is available (here). Cryospheric basins are now experiencing amplified climate change, glacier melt, and permafrost thaw. The accelerating glacier retreat and permafrost degradation are associated with frequent hazards including glacier collapses, Read More…
New paper out in WRR!
Our new paper ‘Google Earth Engine-based estimation of the spatio-temporal distribution of suspended sediment concentrations in a multi-channel river system of the Yangtze River Basin’ is out in Water Resources Research. Using Google Earth Engine and in situ observed hydrological data, we created a multiple linear regression model to map SSC in the multi-channel system Read More…
New paper out in Science Advances!
Our new paper ‘Shifted sediment-transport regimes by climate change and amplified hydrological variability in cryosphere-fed rivers’ is out in Science Advances. This is the first open access paper from our group and hope it will reach a wider community beyond the fields of climate change and sediment transport! We demonstrate the seasonal regime shifts in Read More…
New paper out in Geomorphology!
Our new paper ‘Fluvial sediment load sensitivity to climate change in cold basins on the Tibetan Plateau: An elasticity approach and the spatial scale effect’ is out in Geomorphology. Check it out here: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1hh2H,3sl3xFA%7E The Tibetan Plateau contains the earth’s largest reservoir of glacier-snow-permafrost outside the two polar regions and is sensitive to climate change, Read More…
Job opportunities!!! I am now hiring PhD, postdocs and research assistants
Dongfeng has now joined Peking University as an Assistant Professor. I’m hiring a PhD student, 1-2 postdocs, and 2 research assistants, to work on 1) large-scale river water/sediment/carbon fluxes and channel change; 2) cryosphere change and related societal impacts. Please email me for details (dongfeng.li@pku.edu.cn). Postdoc advertising: https://cese.pku.edu.cn/rczp/bsh/149997.htm
