Suspended sediment is a natural part of river systems and plays an essential role in
structuring the landscape, creating ecological habitats and transporting nutrients. It is also a …

The study of mass and energy transfer across landscapes has recently evolved to
comprehensive considerations acknowledging the role of biota and humans as geomorphic …

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

Sediment fingerprinting is a technique that is increasingly being used to improve the
understanding of sediment dynamics within river basins. At present, one of the main …

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 …

Aircraft-mounted hyperspectral spectrometers were used to collect imagery with high spatial
and spectral resolution for use in measuring optically active water quality characteristics of …

Despite decades of policy that strives to reduce nutrient and sediment export from
agricultural fields, surface water quality in intensively managed agricultural landscapes …

Erosion degrades soils, reduces crop yields, and diminishes ecosystem services. The total
amount of soil that has been eroded since the initiation of farming is unknown in most …

Rivers in watersheds dominated by agriculture throughout the US are impaired by excess
sediment, a significant portion of which comes from non‐field, near‐channel sources. Both …

Although the hydrologic cycle is a continuously renewable resource, the natural rate of water
delivery is highly variable. Water is made available to our society on a consistent and …
