Hydropower is traditionally considered to be one type of “clean” energy, and has been
heavily developed in many regions of the world. Nevertheless, this assumption is …

In order to evaluate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a reservoir or from several
reservoirs in a country or a climatic zone, simpler or more complex models based on …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from lakes exhibit significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity,
and quantitative identification of the different N2O production processes is greatly limited …

The ability of hydropower to contribute to climate change mitigation is sometimes
questioned, citing emissions of methane and carbon dioxide resulting from the degradation …

Half of all of China's lakes are on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), which are mainly
distributed at altitudes above 4000 m asl. Being under conditions of progressively …

Stream networks have recently been discovered to be major but poorly constrained natural
greenhouse gas (GHG) sources. A fundamental problem is that several measurement …

Streams represent active components of the carbon cycle as emitters of carbon dioxide (CO
2) and methane to the atmosphere at a global scale. However, the mechanisms and …

Saline lakes, serving as the ultimate destination for most hydrological systems, accumulate
substantial amounts of nutrients and organic matter from basins, and act as vast carbon …

Satellite observation can significantly reduce the uncertainties in CO 2 emission estimations
compared to insufficient field data. However, big challenges remain in developing remote …

Inland waters play an important role for regional and global scale carbon cycling and are
