- •
Rainfall in July and August contributes ~ 75% of total erosion during the ablation season.
- •
Particle size distribution reflects dominance of medium silt-sized to fine sand-sized particles.
- •
Sediment evacuation because of high energy conditions through the subglacial transport pathways.
- •
No significant relationship between suspended sediment yield and catchment area over glacierized catchments in the Himalaya.
