2. 1. Sediment transport from source to sink in the Lake Baikal basin : Impacts of hydroclimatic change and mining

   Author : Jan Pietroń; Jerker Jarsjö; Enrica Viparelli; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sediment transport; human impact; hydroclimatic change; surface mining; metal-enriched sediment; Lake Baikal; the Selenga River; the Selenga Delta; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;
