TL;DR: In this paper, a spatio-temporal distribution of deadly landslides is presented for 27 European countries over the last 20 years (1995-2014) and a total of 1370 deaths and 784 injuries were reported resulting from 476 landslides.

TL;DR: Wetlands are often considered as nature-based solutions that can provide a multitude of services of great social, economic and environmental value to humankind as discussed by the authors, and they can provide great social and economic benefits to humans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive overview about the current state of knowledge about water resources and their management in Central Asia and present case studies looking at the Selenga-Baikal-Angara Basin, the Lake Aral Basin including the Syr Darya and Amu Darya river systems, the Tarim and the Illi River Basins.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the unregulated Selenga River and its basin, located in Russia and Mongolia, and showed that peak flow events during spring and summer contribute to the main part (70-80%) of the annual sediment and pollution loads in upstream parts of the basin.

TL;DR: It is suggested that local to regional transformation and enrichment processes in combination with suspended sediment transport from numerous existing upstream mining areas contribute to high concentrations of dissolved heavy metals in downstream parts of the Selenga River, including its delta area at Lake Baikal.
