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 …

Purpose This review of sediment source fingerprinting assesses the current state-of-the-art,
remaining challenges and emerging themes. It combines inputs from international scientists …

Riverine sediments play an important role in the healthy functioning of river ecosystems as
they provide nutrients and a connectivity signal throughout the catchment sediment cascade …

Although runoff from trafficked urban areas is recognized as a potentially significant pathway
of micropollutants, runoff pollution remains poorly documented, except for relatively few …

In many parts of Africa, soil erosion is an important problem, which is evident from high
sediment yields in tropical montane streams. Previous studies in Kenya pointed to a large …

Background: Sediment deposition in the urban environment affects aesthetic, economic, and
other aspects of city life, and through re-suspension of dust, may pose serious risks to …

Purpose The aims of this research were to assess the sources of variability of particulate
FRNs (7Be, 210Pbex and 137Cs) in river channels, the influence of sediment properties …

The aim of the study is the development of a method of quantitative assessment of the total
and size-fractionated amount of urban surface deposited sediment. The method utilises the …

Metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common pollutants in urban
streambed sediment, yet their occurrence is highly variable and difficult to predict. To …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) produced by numerous anthropogenic activities
are ubiquitous in the environment and have become a priority concern due to their potential …
