A reassessment of the genesis of the Sangamon stone line and texture contrast profile in McDonough County, western Illinois
This research reassesses the origin of the Sangamon stone line and texture contrast profile in a portion of western Illinois. Stone lines are commonly interpreted as former surface lags fanned by hillslope erosion owed to changes in environment, mainly climate. According to erosion models, texture …

Suspended sediment supply dominated by channel processes in a low-gradient agricultural watershed, Wildcat Slough, Fisher, IL, USA
Nutrient loading in rivers in the Upper Sangamon River Basin has led to concentrations of nitrate that exceed EPA water quality standards and concentrations of phosphorous that promote algal growth. Nitrogen and phosphorous are primarily introduced by fertilization and transported via leaching …

Spatial and temporal variability in floodplain sedimentation during individual hydrologic events on a lowland, meandering river: Allerton Park, Monticello, Illinois
… five flood events on the floodplain of the Sangamon River at Allerton Park in Monticello, Illinois. The five events observed had peak discharges of 40-250 m3/s. During each event, deposition was found to occur most frequently and with greatest magnitude in and adjacent to floodplain …
