Abstract:With the rising air temperature and precipitation, water and sediment
flux in the Source Region of the Yangtze River have increased
significantly since 2000. Nonetheless, the response of braided river
morphology to climate-driven water and sediment flux change is still
unknown. Water bodies of nine large braided rivers from 1990 to 2020
were extracted based on Google Earth Engine platform, and impacts of
climate change on activation indices of braided river morphology were
quantified. The main results are pres… Show more
