River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean
and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle …

Rapid atmospheric warming since the mid-twentieth century has increased temperature-
dependent erosion and sediment-transport processes in cold environments, affecting food …

Submarine turbidity currents form the largest sediment accumulations on Earth, raising the
question of their role in global carbon cycles. It was previously inferred that terrestrial …

Increasing gold and mineral mining activity in rivers across the global tropics has degraded
ecosystems and threatened human health,. Such river mineral mining involves intensive …

River hydrology and geomorphology are largely influenced by human activities. The
operation of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), which is the largest global hydropower project …

Variations in the concentrations and distribution of suspended particulate matter (SPM) of
lakes can be used to show the responses of lake environment to climate and landscape …

Future sea-level rise poses an existential threat for many river deltas, yet quantifying the
effect of sea-level changes on these coastal landforms remains a challenge. Sea-level …

The heavily human-perturbed coastal oceans are hotspots of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission
to the atmosphere. The processes underpinning the N2O flux, however, remain poorly …

Rivers and estuaries are regarded as major pathways of microplastic (MP) transport from
terrestrial areas to marine ecosystems. Despite this knowledge on the transport dynamics …

Recent climate change has caused an increase in warming-driven erosion and sediment
transport processes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Yet a lack of measurements hinders our …
