Abstract—New estimates of the suspended sediment fluxes from the medium and large rivers of Siberia and
the Russian Far East are presented on the basis of the calculations over the period of the instrumental surveys.
The method of calculations accounting for the intra-annual discharge variability is considered and its hydrogeo-
logical substantiation is given. The obtained estimates are compared with the results of previous studies. The
role of the geological evolution and glaciation history concerning the contemporary suspended sediment fluxes
is shown. The prevalence of the valley (coastal and slope) generation of the suspended flux over the watershed
generation on the territory of the Russian drainage basin is assumed.
