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

Despite decades of policy that strives to reduce nutrient and sediment export from
agricultural fields, surface water quality in intensively managed agricultural landscapes …

Dynamical processes occurring on the hierarchical branching structure of a river network
tend to heterogeneously distribute fluxes on the network, often concentrating them into …

Sediment pulses are triggered through a variety of mechanisms, from landslides to land use
change. How do these pulses move through the fluvial system, and how do they evolve? In a …

Many high-latitude fluvial systems are adjusting to base-level changes since the last
glaciation. Channels that experienced base-level fall may still be incising, often through …

Sediment delivery from the Le Sueur River watershed is a major concern in the turbidity-
impaired Minnesota River. As part of a broader effort to develop a sediment budget for the …

Predicting riverine suspended sediment flux is a fundamental problem in geomorphology,
with important implications for water quality, land and water resource management, and …

Repeat surveys of high-resolution topographic data enable analysis of geomorphic change
through digital elevation model (DEM) differencing. Such analyses are becoming …

Human activities influence watershed sediment dynamics in profound ways, often resulting
in excessive loading of suspended sediment to rivers. One of the primary factors limiting our …

Fluvial systems provide a variety of habitats that support thousands of species including
many that are threatened or endangered. Moreover, these habitats, which range from …
