Key factors of sediment yield formation and variability\u0000in the Kamchatsky Krai are relief characteristics and climate (especially\u0000precipitation). The last research in climate change in Kamchatka\u0000demonstrates climate warming – mean annual air temperature has increased on\u00001.5 ∘C during the period from 1951 to 2009 in average (the maximum\u0000increase was revealed in the west of Kamchatka and in the Kamchatka River\u0000valley, the minimum one – in the extreme south and north). Decrease of\u0000annual precipitation was observed at the same period. In addition frequency\u0000and intensity of precipitation is growing. Thereby described climate changes\u0000in Kamchatka influence on sediment yield characteristics directly (influence\u0000of precipitation on surface washout formation) and indirectly (through water\u0000runoff and hydrological regime of rivers changes). Analysis of\u0000spatio-temporal variability in suspended sediment yield demonstrated\u0000decrease since late 1970–early 1980 in the most part of\u0000rivers in the Kamchatsky Krai.

Available results for five studied valleys of the Khibiny\u0000Mountains, Kola Peninsula, suggest that slush flows and, possibly for some\u0000valleys, typical debris flows with lower frequency, are a leading mechanism\u0000for downstream sediment delivery and valley floor topographical formation.\u0000Typical fluvial topography in slush flow-affected basins is extremely\u0000suppressed or nonexistent, since under such conditions, stream channels are\u0000unable to rework slush flow deposits. The recovery phase of fluvial\u0000topography can serve as an indicator of the magnitude and time passed since\u0000the last extreme event. A combination of grain size analysis, radionuclide\u0000fingerprinting with the 232Th content in the finer-grained sediment\u0000matrix (size <10 mm) and 14C dating, were applied to reveal\u0000the age and common structure of debris and slush flow environments and to\u0000investigate the main factors in their lithodynamics.
