Purpose Evaluating sediment fingerprinting source apportionments with artificial mixtures is
crucial for supporting decision-making and advancing modeling approaches. However …

Sediment source fingerprinting has been progressively developed and refined over the past
40 years or more and now represents a widely used and valuable technique, with important …

Sediment fingerprinting quantifies soil erosion processes by tracing sediment origins in
water bodies. In this regard, several types of tracers have been used to discriminate different …

Purpose Accelerated soil erosion poses a global hazard to soil health. Understanding soil
and sediment behaviour through sediment fingerprinting enables the monitoring and …

Accurate particle size distribution (PSD) measurements of suspended particulate matter
(SPM) composed of flocs and aggregates are important to improve understanding of …

Large-capacity information encryption has attracted significant interest in the information
age. The diversity and controllability of spectra have positioned them to be widely applied for …

Applications of sediment source fingerprinting studies are growing globally despite the high
costs and workloads associated with the analyses of conventional fingerprint properties on …

Over the last few decades, there has been a large growth in the number of publications that
have used the sediment source fingerprinting (SSF) technique to identify the dominant …

Sediment fingerprinting is used to identify catchment sediment sources. Traditionally, it has
been based on the collection and analysis of potential soil sources and target sediment …

Sediment fingerprints have been widely used in source identification studies. Optical
features have become a powerful substitute for traditional fingerprints in recent years due to …
