Abstract Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) and Sediment Generation (SG) are two branches
of sedimentary geology which are complementary, although their full integration remains …

An overview of quantitative approaches to analysis and modelling of sediment generation
and provenance is presented, with an emphasis on major framework components as …

Background Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has made it possible to determine the
sequence and relative abundance of all nucleotides in a biological or environmental …

Clastic sediment generation is controlled by physical and chemical processes acting in
concert in most geological settings. In glacial settings, however, it is possible investigating …

Coherent provenance studies of soils that take into account data processing and the
limitations arising from the physiochemical properties of the source material are scarce. In …

An exceptionally thick Cenozoic sedimentary succession has developed in the Qaidam
basin of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. The provenance remains enigmatic; thus, more …

In European rivers, research and monitoring programmes have targeted metal pollution from
bed and floodplain sediments since the mid-20 th century by using various sampling and …

Heavy minerals are typically rare but important components of siliciclastic sediments and
rocks. Their abundance, proportions, and variability carry valuable information on source …

Garnet chemistry provides a well-established tool in the discrimination and interpretation of
sediment provenance. Current discrimination approaches, however,(i) suffer from using less …

The subantarctic islands between 40 and 60° S are circum-polar landmasses influenced by
the southern westerly wind (SWW) belt whose latitudinal shifts are driven by the Southern …
