Impact of Humans on the Flux of Terrestrial Sediment to the Global Coastal Ocean
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Global estimates of the seasonal flux of sediment, on a river-by-river basis, under modern and prehuman conditions are provided, showing African and Asian rivers carry a greatly reduced sediment load; Indonesian rivers deliver much more sediment to coastal areas.
