Glacial and proglacial erosion are important sediment sources in a river basin. The retreat of many glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau has important implications on the supply of fresh water and sediment dynamics for downstream river basins. Despite the importance of water and sediment dynamics at these catchments, existing quantification of suspended sediment fluxes from glacial catchments on the Tibetan Plateau is limited due to poor accessibility and challenging environments. This study presents the results of in-situ investigations of water discharge and suspended sediment fluxes from the Ming Yong glacial catchment in Yunnan, Southwest China, between August 2013 and July 2017. The results show that the variation in water discharge and suspended sediment was highly seasonal. The variation of average suspended sediment concentration was large – 69±45 mg/L; 119±104 mg/L; 94±97 mg/L in 2013, 2015, 2016, respectively. We estimate that the sediment yield from Ming Yong catchment was highly variable ranging from 1104 t/km 2/year in 2013to 2281 t/ km 2/year in 2016, with 65-78% of the total annual sediment load occurring during summer (June to August). These annual variations in the sediment yield can be attributed largely to precipitation patterns, or otherwise, extreme melting events. This study has provided a benchmark dataset that can be used for further works that investigate the impact of climate change on sediment dynamics in glacierized catchments in the Tibetan Plateau. Subsequently, the study let us better understand the increasing sediment supply to the Upper Mekong River from glacierized catchments.
