The latest UNESCO-ISI publication entitled “Erosion and sediment problems: global hotspots” co-authored by Prof. Valentin Golosov and Prof. Desmond E. Walling is now available online in the UNESCO Digital Library (https://unesdoc.unesco.org/). This new ISI publication provides a global perspective on contemporary erosion rates and sediment fluxes and the impact of global change, with particular emphasis on the problems posed by erosion and sediment transport for the sustainable management of the Earth system and for society more generally. Since the greatest problems are commonly associated with high erosion rates and high sediment loads, emphasis is placed on identifying those areas of the world that could be classified as hotspots in terms of erosion rates and sediment yields.
