Satellite observations suggest an approximate 20% increase in global riverine particulate organic carbon export to the ocean over the past four decades, driven primarily by tropical deforestation and ...

We show that pan-Arctic land–ocean sediment flux has increased by ~15% since the 1980s, and that previously overlooked small- and medium-sized coastal rivers contribute 37% of the total sediment flux ...

The total sediment flux from land to the ocean across the pan-Arctic has risen by 15% since 1980, driven by greater river discharge, intensified thermokarst disturbances and wildfire activity, accordi...

Erosion in mountain-basin systems driven by long-period climate variations is buffered by an erosion saturation effect, which weakens peak erosion and leads to reduced sediment flux.

Increased temperatures and drought are leading to more wildfires. And wildfire smoke aerosols can suppress precipitation, drying out soils and further increasing fire risk.

A new tool maps coastal sediments on the basis of water color. It shows that 75% of the world’s coastlines may be losing suspended sediment.

NOAA’s annual Arctic Report Card illustrates a warmer, wetter, and increasingly wonky Arctic climate.
