The growing awareness of the environmental significance of fine-grained sediment fluxes
through catchment systems continues to underscore the need for reliable information on the …

Tracing sediments back to their catchment sources using biogeochemical and physical
fingerprints involves multiple assumptions. One of the most fundamental assumptions is that …

Recent years have seen a growing awareness of the wider environmental significance of the
suspended sediment loads transported by rivers and streams. This includes the importance …

Purpose This contribution reviews the evolution of sediment source fingerprinting
investigations since the beginning of such studies in the mid-1970s. Attention is directed to …

Studies documenting the effects of land-derived suspended particulate matter (SPM, ie,
particulate organic matter and mineral sediment) on marine ecosystems are typically …

The identification of sediment sources is fundamental to the management of increasingly
scarce water resources. Tracing the origin of sediment with elemental geochemistry is a well …

Information on the nature and relative contribution of different watershed sediment sources
is recognized as a key requirement in the design and implementation of targeted …

The common agricultural practice in the humid tropical forest zone of Cameroon is shifting
cultivation, which leads to a landscape mosaic system characterized by a diversity of land …

Identifying the erosion processes contributing to increased basin fine sediment yield is
important for reducing downstream impacts on aquatic ecosystems. However, erosion rates …

By the end of the 1960s, it became acutely apparent that major problems existed with the
quality of both surface and subsurface waters on a world-wide scale. In response to these …
