Reconstructed eight-century streamflow in the Tibetan Plateau reveals contrasting regional variability and strong nonstationarity

A new study reconstructs eight-century streamflow over the South and East Tibetan Plateau, showing that observations underestimate the full range of long-term streamflow variability and revealing contrasting regional variability in streamflow between south and north study regions.
