Abstract The Magdalena River is the main contributor of fresh water and sediment to the
Caribbean Sea. Hydrological inputs from the Magdalena River are 10,287 and 4068 m 3 s−
1 at high and low flows, respectively. Sediment delivery from the Magdalena River is among
the largest in the world, with 142× 10 6 t yr− 1 of transported suspended matter. We used
MODIS images to develop a regional model and assess the spatial and temporal variability
of suspended sediment concentration at the mouth of the Magdalena River, map the extent …
