 The study investigates the response of sediment export to recent climate change in glacierized areas in the European Alps. It uses quantile regression forest, QRF, a non-parametric, multivariate regression based on random forest, to estimate sediment export over the last five decades. The study finds that QRF performs better than sediment rating curves, SRCs, in terms of explaining the variability of sediment export. Additionally, it demonstrates that the QRF can accurately capture the temporal dynamics of sediment export, including the steplike increase in sediment yield observed during the period between 1981 and 1983. Furthermore, the study shows that the QRF can also identify the underlying causes of these changes, such as increased glacial melt due to higher temperatures. This article was authored by L. K.
