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

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 …

Connectivity describes the efficiency of material transfer between geomorphic system
components such as hillslopes and rivers or longitudinal segments within a river network …

Fine sediment source fingerprinting techniques have been widely applied in agricultural
river catchments. Successful source discrimination in agricultural environments depends on …

Suspended sediments in fluvial systems originate from a myriad of diffuse and point sources,
with the relative contribution from each source varying over time and space. The process of …

Abstract Information on the main sources supplying deleterious sediment loads to river
systems is needed to improve our understanding of soil erosion processes to better target …

Globally, rivers systems are under considerable and increasing threat from multiple
anthropogenic stresses, including different types of direct (eg channel engineering) and …

Catchment erosion, soil losses and resulting sediment pressures continue to represent
cause for concern with respect to the ecological vitality and amenity value of riverine …

Sediment source fingerprinting is increasingly used to provide insight into the dynamics of
catchment sediment transfer processes, yet relatively few studies seek to validate source …

Abstract Information on sediment sources in river catchments is required for effective
sediment control strategies, to understand sediment, nutrient and pollutant transport, and for …
