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 …

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

Fingerprinting technique is a widely used tool to assess the sources of sediments and
particle bound chemicals within a watershed, and the results obtained from unmixing …

Soil properties used as tracers in sediment fingerprinting studies are assumed to remain
stable or vary in a predictable way in their transfer from sources to sinks, allowing a …

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 …

Sediment source fingerprinting has been progressively developed and refined over the past
40 years or more and now represents a widely used and valuable technique, with important …

Sediment fingerprinting experiments have been used to demonstrate the sensitivity of
numerical mixing model outputs to different particle size distributions in source materials and …

The knowledge of the contribution of sediment sources to river networks is a prerequisite to
understand the impact of land use change on sediment yield. We calculated the relative …

Tracing technology is increasingly being used in fluvial and aeolian sediment provenance
assessments. Using synthetic sample mixtures in validations of unmixing model …

Badlands are landforms that occur all over the World. In the Mediterranean region, badlands
are found in both dry (arid and semi‐arid) and wet (subhumid and humid) environments, and …
