Humans and climate change impact sediment fluxes in the Rhone Basin
Sediment fluxes in Alpine catchments are the result of intreactions between climate (warming, increased glacial sediment) and human (dams, intakes, channelisation, sediment extraction) effects. A recent paper in Scientific Reports highlighted by SNF showcased our work which shows how complex these interactions are in the Rhone Basin.
