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…
