Anthropogenic interferences to large river basins are triggering unprecedented changes to
earth surface processes. The upper reach of the Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) is a typical …

The intensive construction of large dams in the upper Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) has
formed large-scale cascade reservoirs and obviously altered the flow regime and sediment …

A sharp decline in the Sediment load at the seaward most Datong station (DTS) of the
Yangtze River occurred at an average rate of 7.22× 106 t/yr since 1956, and this drop had a …

After the construction of the cascade reservoirs in the lower Jinsha River, it has become
necessary to clarify the spatial and temporal variability of the volume of sediment entering …

Most existing models are unable to model large spatial pattern of reservoir sedimentation
due to the difficulty in accounting for trapping by upstream reservoirs in a multiple reservoir …

The Three Gorges Dam (TGD) on the upper Changjiang (Yangtze River), China, disrupts the
continuity of Changjiang sediment delivery to downstream and coastal areas. In this study …

Sediment transport in alluvial rivers is critical to reshape channel morphology and to the
global geochemical cycle. This study reports a detailed investigation into the contributions of …

After the operation of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) in 2003, the mean annual sediment load
at Yichang station, 44 km downstream of the TGD, decreased drastically by 84% of that in …

The construction of cascade reservoirs upstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) has
been greatly intensified in the 21st century. While research attention is dedicated to the …

Abstract The Three Gorges Dam (TGD), on the upper valley of the Yangtze River, China, is
the largest water conservancy and power generation project in the world. Problematic …
