This paper reviews the more widely used bed-load surrogate acoustic measuring
techniques that were tested both in flume experiments and field settings. A fair number of …

River sediment budgets are prepared globally, under different conditions and requirements.
This paper proposes a general methodology for sediment budgeting–the River Sediment …

Bedload transport can fluctuate considerably over relatively short periods of time and for a
given quasi‐constant flow rate. What are the implications of replacing the fluctuating signal …

During the last 20 years, flume and field experiments have shown that grain sorting
contributes to bed‐level fluctuations and bedload pulses. In this work, we propose a new …

The Swiss plate geophone is a bedload surrogate monitoring system that has been
calibrated in several gravel‐bed streams using direct sampling techniques. Past systematic …

Bedload transport in natural channels typically shows large fluctuations even for constant
hydraulic forcing. It has been shown that the threshold shear stress for initiation of motion …

Bedload monitoring techniques have been developed and applied for many years in rivers
ranging from steep mountain torrents to the large gravel-bed Danube River in Austria. Most …

Previous measurements of bed load transport in gravel bed streams revealed a large
temporal and spatial variability of bed load transport rates. Using an impact plate geophone …

Understanding and predicting bedload transport is an important element of watershed
management. Yet, predictions of bedload remain uncertain by up to several order (s) of …

Substantial uncertainties in bedload transport predictions in steep streams have encouraged
intensive efforts towards the development of surrogate monitoring technologies. One such …
