Abstract
The sediment discharge of rivers for the territories of the Avachinskaya and Northern groups of volcanoes (the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes, and Shiveluch Volcano), constituting zones of active volcanism on the territory of Kamchatka Peninsula was analyzed. A special model based on the principle of multiple regression relationships between the amount of suspended sediment discharge and its formation factors has been employed. This has allowed us to obtain assessments of the sediment discharge into the Pacific Ocean for the eastern coast of Kamchatka.
