DOI: 10.1002/2017gl076935
Abstract: River flooding—the world’s most significant natural hazard—is likely to increase under anthropogenic climate change. Most large rivers have been regulated by damming, but the extent to which these impoundments can mitigate extreme flooding remains uncertain.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4691
Abstract: The Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has altered downstream flow–sediment regimes and led to significant changes in the morphodynamic processes in the Middle Yangtze River (MYR). However, due to the complexity of this large river, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2019.115042
Abstract: The magnitude of environmental change due to anthropogenic impacts might greatly exceed that of natural disturbances. In this work, we quantitatively examine the impacts of river damming, soil erosion, and point-source release on the transport… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep41735
Abstract: Many deltas are likely undergoing net erosion because of rapid decreases in riverine sediment supply and rising global sea levels. However, detecting erosion in subaqueous deltas is usually difficult because of the lack of bathymetric… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwac013
Abstract: Abstract Dams are often regarded as greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters. However, our study indicated that the world's largest dam, the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), has caused significant drops in annual average emissions of CO2, CH4… read more here.
