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 …

The radioisotope 137Cs has been extensively used to provide information about soil
erosion. The technique relies upon a number of assumptions that this review evaluates in …

The affinity of bomb-derived fallout 137Cs and naturally-occurring fallout 210Pb for soil and
sediment particles make them valuable sediment tracers, and they have been used in a …

Although sediment is a natural constituent of rivers, excess loading to rivers and streams is a
leading cause of impairment and biodiversity loss. Remedial actions require identification of …

Sediment budgets typically require an estimate of the proportional yield from erosion
sources to sediments in transport and storage. This becomes increasingly difficult as …

This study attempts to quantify the amount of fine-grained (ca.< 150 μm) sediment stored on
the floodplains and on the channel bed of the non-tidal sections of the main channels in the …

Bomb-derived caesium-137 (137Cs) fallout has been widely used to investigate rates and
patterns of soil erosion and sediment deposition. Within this approach considerable …

A large number of geoscientists worldwide from different disciplines have recognized and
have adopted the 137 Cs method as an effective tracer to assess soil erosion rates during …

Floodplain sediment cores collected from seven sites in the catchment of the River Ouse, in
Yorkshire, UK, have been used to provide information on recent historical changes in both …

A technique using the relationship between the naturally occurring radionuclide tracers, 7Be
and 210Pbxs, was used to differentiate eroded surface soils and channel-derived sediments …
