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 …

Global hydrological models (GHMs) have effectively become a separate research field in the
last two decades. The paper reviews and compares 12 known global modelling efforts since …

The first issue of WRR appeared eight years after the launch of Sputnik, but by WRR's 25th
anniversary, only seven papers that used remote sensing had appeared. Over the journal's …

Deltas are subaerial landforms that cap underlying deposits with subaqueous extensions
that result from a river feeding sediment directly into a standing body of water at a rate that …

Rivers provide critical water supply for many human societies and ecosystems, yet global
knowledge of their flow rates is poor. We show that useful estimates of absolute river …

Remote sensing of river discharge (RSQ) is a burgeoning field rife with innovation. This
innovation has resulted in a highly non-cohesive subfield of hydrology advancing at a rapid …

Frequency and duration of floods are analyzed using the global flood database of the
Dartmouth Flood Observatory (DFO) to explore evidence of trends during 1985–2015 at …

Floods are among the top-ranking natural disasters in terms of annual cost in insured and
uninsured losses. Since high-impact events often cover spatial scales that are beyond …

River discharge is an important variable in the water cycle that is related to water supply,
irrigation, and flood forecasting. However, gauging stations are extremely limited across …

Rivers act as a source of fresh water for terrestrial life, yet the discharges are poorly
documented since the existing direct observations are inadequate and some observation …
