Tracing sediments back to their catchment sources using biogeochemical and physical
fingerprints involves multiple assumptions. One of the most fundamental assumptions is that …

Fine-grained sediment is perhaps the most widespread and pervasive contaminant in
aquatic systems reflecting its role in influencing the quality of the water (eg, turbidity, vector …

Fine‐grained sediment is a natural and essential component of river systems and plays a
major role in the hydrological, geomorphological and ecological functioning of rivers. In …

Sediment fingerprinting is a technique that is increasingly being used to improve the
understanding of sediment dynamics within river basins. At present, one of the main …

The detrimental impact of sediment and associated pollutants on water quality is widely
acknowledged, with many watercourses in the UK failing to meet the standard of 'good …

Understanding the sediment sorting and transport processes is is crucial for enhancing the
understanding of soil erosion mechanisms and improving soil erosion prediction. However …

Rivers provide the dominant pathway of terrigenous sediment to the ocean. The density
difference between riverine and salt water as well as the density anomaly contributed by …

Losses of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in land run-off and drainage from agricultural
land can impair river water quality and may pose a potential health hazard. Losses of P are …

Very few studies have attempted to quantify the sources of suspended sediment transported
in urban river systems. In this study, statistically verified composite fingerprints and a …

The use of tracers within a sediment fingerprinting framework has become a commonly used
technique for investigating the sources of fine sediment. However, uncertainties associated …
