China abounds in rivers. More than 1,500 rivers each drain 1,000 sq km or larger areas. More than 2,700 billion cu m of water flow along these rivers, 5.8 percent of the world's total.
Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor turbidity currents originated from the Congo River-mouth, with one flow travelling >1,130 km whilst acceleratin...

the major contour interval is set at 5m.plotting of roads,rivers,buildings and plants was done with reference to both the 1:50,000 map and satellite images.in particular,plants was divided them into 5 categories:namely cultivated land (paddy fields),cultivated land (other than paddy fields),...
In addition to soils (burned and unburned), the two other main potential sources of sediment to the study rivers are eroding channel banks and, in the case of the mainstem, road-deposited sediment (RDS). RDS is derived from a couple of sources, primarily from the direct deposition of mate...
Surface water characteristics of the Beaufort Sea have global climate implications during the last deglaciation and the Holocene, as (1) sea ice is a critical component of the climate system and (2) Laurentide Ice Sheet meltwater discharges via the
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are a vital tool in the fight against malaria vectors. However, their efficacy in the field can be impacted by several factors, including patterns of usage, net age, mosquito resistance and the delayed mortality eff
Extinct organisms provide vital information about the time of origination and biogeography of extant groups. The development of phylogenetic methods to study evolutionary processes through time has revolutionized the field of evolutionary biology and led
Urban land will face high fluvial flood risk against the background of climate change and urban expansion. The effect of urban spatial expansion, instead of densification of assets within existing urban cells, on flood risk has rarely been reported. Here
Fig. 1: Richness map of the predicted distributions of landrace groups of 25 cereal, pulse and starchy root/tuber/fruit crops within their geographic regions of diversity. Darker colours indicate greater numbers of crop landrace groups potentially overlapping in the same 2.5-arc-minute cells, quanti...
