The growing awareness of the environmental significance of fine-grained sediment fluxes
through catchment systems continues to underscore the need for reliable information on the …

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

Purpose This review of sediment source fingerprinting assesses the current state-of-the-art,
remaining challenges and emerging themes. It combines inputs from international scientists …

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 …

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

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 …

The mitigation of diffuse sediment pollution requires reliable provenance information so that
measures can be targeted. Sediment source fingerprinting represents one approach for …

Abstract In the Cordillera Blanca, the glaciers delineated by some of the highest peaks in the
tropical Peruvian Andes have experienced a fast retreat over the last few decades. At the …

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

Reliable quantitative information on sediment sources to rivers is critical to mitigate
contamination and target conservation and restoration actions. However, for large-scale …
