What is the project?
This project aims to digitize daily discharge, total suspended sediment, rainfall, and evaporation data measured at Chinese stations until 1987. They are currently available in book form only and we aim to make them available digitally to facilitate easier analysis of Chinese rivers using measured data.
Citation information
If you use these data please cite this paper, which is currently in prep.
Henck, A. C., D. R. Montgomery, K. W. Huntington, C. Liang. (in prep.) The myth of Communist land degradation: new evidence from local erosion and basin-wide sediment yield in SW China and SE Tibet.
I will post a link to the paper as soon as it is submitted and in review, which will hopefully be sometime in December, 2009.
Disclaimer: This project is ongoing and the data are still being digitized. At the time of publishing only the Yunnan-Tibet International Rivers data for discharge and sediment concentration are available (districts 9-1 and 9-2).
