The development of dual signature, fluorescent magnetic sediment tracing technology
The erosion, transport and deposition of sediment create environmental problems and social issues worldwide. Due to these ecological, environmental and economic implications for society, the importance of protecting and managing the sediment and soil resource is increasingly recognised through …

Rare Earth Elements as a Tracer to Understand Sediment Fate and Transport in Small Streams
Sediment is a major source of water quality impairment in streams, rivers and lakes in the US. However, sediment fate and transport in small streams is poorly understood. Previous attempts to characterize sediment transport often insufficiently represented the physical and chemical sediment …

Coastal and sediment dynamics in a high-energy, rocky environment
A study of the wave dynamics, hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics was conducted at an energetic open-coast site at New Plymouth, New Zealand. The location features large, shore-normal reefs of volcanic agglomerate extending from an irregular shoreline, with “black” volcanic sands intermittently …

Assessing the dynamics of soil erosion and sediment transport under increasing land use pressures in East African Rift Catchments
… land use and land cover change, soil erosion and sediment transport in East African Rift Catchments. This contribution forms a blueprint for future studies using sediment tracing, radionuclide dating, Bayesian Mixing Models and soil erosion mapping, and their reciprocal integration in this …

The environmental behaviour of beryllium-7 and implications for its use as a sediment tracer
… of cosmogenic beryllium-7 (7Be) as a soil and sediment tracer relies upon a number of important assumptions which to date have not been fully underpinned by supporting data. As a catchment management tool 7Be offers unique potential to assess the effects of recent land use or climate change but …

Analysis of sediment dynamics in intensively managed landscapes
The flux of fine sediment within agricultural watersheds is an important factor determining the environmental quality of streams and rivers. Human activity has significantly altered the hydrological and biogeochemical cycles within terrestrial and aquatic environments through agricultural …
