Selecting Color-based Tracers and Classifying Sediment Sources in the Assessment of Sediment Dynamics Using Sediment Source Fingerprinting.
The use of sediment color as a fingerprint property to determine sediment sources is an emerging technique that can provide a rapid and inexpensive means of investigating sediment sources. The present study aims to test the feasibility of color fingerprint properties to apportion sediment sources within the South Tobacco Creek Watershed (74 km) in Manitoba, Canada. Suspended sediment from 2009 ...
متن کاملTracing Fine-Sediment Using Artificial Radionuclides
The environmental characteristics of many artificial gamma-emitting radionuclides provide a number of distinct advantages over other forms of fine-sediment tracer that are readily exploitable when undertaking erosion investigations. This makes them particularly effective for accurately measuring the movement of small quantities of fine-sediment, especially in low-energy environments where soil ...
متن کاملFingerprinting suspended sediment sources in the catchment of the River Ouse, Yorkshire, UK
Statistically veri®ed composite ®ngerprints and a multivariate mixing model have been employed to establish the main sources of the suspended sediment transported through the lower, non-tidal reaches of the River Ouse and one of its main tributaries, the River Wharfe, during the period 1994±1997. In the case of the suspended sediment samples collected from the River Ouse, the load-weighted mean...
متن کاملSediment fingerprinting to determine the source of suspended sediment in a southern Piedmont stream.
Thousands of stream miles in the southern Piedmont region are impaired because of high levels of suspended sediment. It is unclear if the source is upland erosion from agricultural sources or bank erosion of historic sediment deposited in the flood plains between 1830 and 1930 when cotton farming was extensive. The objective of this study was to determine the source of high stream suspended sed...
متن کاملSediment fingerprinting in fluvial systems: review of tracers, sediment sources and mixing models
Suspended sediments in fluvial systems originate from a myriad of diffuse and point sources, with the relative contribution from each source varying over time and space. The process of sediment fingerprinting focuses on developing methods that enable discrete sediment sources to be identified from a composite sample of suspended material. This review identifies existing methodological steps for...
