7. Changes in the Freshwater System : Distinguishing Climate and Landscape Drivers
Abstract : Freshwater is a vital resource that circulates between the atmosphere, the land and the sea. Understanding and quantifying changes to the partitioning of precipitation into evapotranspiration, runoff and water storage change in the landscape are required for assessing changes to freshwater availability.

10. Sediment transport from source to sink in the Lake Baikal basin : Impacts of hydroclimatic change and mining
Abstract : Different magnitude, intensity and timing of precipitation can impact runoff, hillslope erosion and transport of sediment along river channels. Human activities, such as dam construction and surface mining can also considerably influence transport of sediment and sediment-bound contaminants. READ MORE
