A large part of total solid flux is transported as suspension in mountainous rivers. It is crucial
for water resource management and for environmental issues to be able to model and to …

Glaciers expel large amounts of water and sediments, and the discharge of both is
influenced by glacier retreat. Because the majority of sediment originates subglacially, as …

Alpine glaciers are rapidly retreating due to global warming and this has been associated
with enhanced supply of subglacially derived sediment to downstream environments. We …

Proglacial areas in the European Alps and other high-elevation mountains are currently
undergoing rapid change due to global warming. Because of rising temperatures, glaciers …

The recession of Alpine glaciers causes an increase in the extent of proglacial areas and
leads to changes in the water discharge and sediment balance (morphodynamics and …

Glaciated high-alpine areas are fundamentally altered by climate change, with well-known
implications for hydrology, eg, due to glacier retreat, longer snow-free periods, and more …

Evacuation of basal sediment by subglacial drainage is an important mediator of rates of
glacial erosion and glacier flow. Glacial erosion patterns can produce closed basins (ie …

Suspended load transport can strongly impact ecosystems, dam filling and water resources.
However, contrary to bedload, the use of physically based predicting equations is very …

The transport of suspended sediment is associated with important social, economic, and
environmental issues. It is still unclear, however, how suspended sediments eroded on …

Proglacial forefields commonly include highly dynamic fluvial systems associated with the
fundamental instability between topography, flow hydraulics and sediment transport …
