# Factors Controlling Contemporary Suspended Sediment Yield in the Caucasus Region

This repository contains the main processing steps to spatial variation of mean annual area-specific sediment yield (SSY, t km−2 yr−1). It is meant to accompany a journal article ([*Tsyplenkov et al., 2021*][doi]). This study is part of the ongoing Russian Science Foundation project No. 19-17-00181: *«Quantitative assessment of the slope sediment flux and its changes in the Holocene for the Caucasus mountain rivers.»*

For a deep introduction to the study, please refer to:

## REPLICATION. HOW TO
1. Fork this repository or [unzip the archive][arch].
2. Using RStudio open "caucasus-sediment-yield2021.Rproj" file in the main project directory.
3. Run the `R/00_prepare-r-session.R` file.
4. Now you can run other files in `R` directory.

## LOGIC OF THE PROCESS
The whole process is split into eight parts, which is reflected in the structure of R scripts. Every `R` file is independent and not related to others. For example, if you want to reproduce only correlation analysis , then run `R/03_cor-analysis.R`.
The names of the scripts are quite indicative, and each script is reasonably commented.
