Data and code for manuscript "Impacts of post-Soviet land-use transformation on sediment dynamics in the Western Caucasus"

v1.0 — Initial submission to the Journal of Hydrology. This repository contains the main processing steps to explore sediment load temporal changes in the Kuban River basin (Western Caucasus) during the 1975-2020 period. It is meant to accompany a journal article (Tsyplenkov et al., In review). This study is part of the Russian Science Foundation project No. 19-17-00181: "Quantitative assessment of the slope sediment flux and its changes in the Holocene for the Caucasus mountain rivers". For a deep introduction to the study, please refer to: Tsyplenkov A, Grachev A, Yermolaev O, Golosov V. Impacts of post-Soviet land-use transformation on sediment dynamics in the Western Caucasus.
