Abstract Information on the main sources supplying deleterious sediment loads to river
systems is needed to improve our understanding of soil erosion processes to better target …

In recent years, several sediment fingerprinting studies have used ultraviolet–visible (UV–
Vis), near-infrared (NIR) and middle-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy as a low cost, non …

Stream sediments record water–rock interactions in tributaries followed by fluid mixing in
larger downstream catchments, but it can be difficult to determine the relative contributions of …

Purpose Sediment fingerprinting is increasingly being used to improve the understanding of
sediment dynamics within the critical zone and provide information that can help guide …

Purpose Identifying best practices for sediment fingerprinting or tracing is important to allow
the quantification of sediment contributions from catchment sources. Although sediment …

Phytoliths are plant microfossils commonly used as qualitative archive markers in
archaeological and paleoecological studies. Their potential uniqueness to the vegetation …

Purpose The accurate identification of primary sediment sources in a watershed is
necessary to implement targeted management practices that will reduce erosion and restore …

Purpose The characterization of soil properties is an important part of many different types of
agri-environmental research including inventory, comparison, and manipulation studies …

Marine sediments record much information of the ecological process, which highly
correlated with global and local environmental change. Particle size and its distributions of …
