Figure 7. Sediment loads at the mouth of several of the world’s major rivers, as a function of time (from Syvistky & Kettner, 2011). A ratio of 1.0 indicates that sediment load is unchanged from pre-Anthropocene conditions. For many rivers, including the Nile, Colorado, and Indus, modern sediment loads are far smaller (<10%) of those in the past.
