uncertainty associated with mixing models is often substantial, but has not yet been fully incorporated in models. the objective of this study is to develop and apply a bayesian-mixing model that estimates probability distributions of source contributions to a mixture associated with multiple sources for assessing the uncertainty estimation in sediment fingerprinting in zidasht catchment, iran....

Recent years have seen a growing awareness of the wider environmental significance of the suspended sediment loads transported by rivers and streams. This includes the importance of fine sediment in the transport of nutrients and contaminants, including phosphorus (P). Sediment source exerts a key control on the physical and geochemical properties of suspended sediment, including its P content,...

sediments are generally regarded as the sink for dissolved elements carried out to the sea by rivers. in order to study the source and mechanism of metal transport in sea water, 123 surface sediment samples were taken by using grab sampler in the northwest part of the persian gulf in summer. grain size analysis and geochemical analysis by icp-oes were carried out on samples after sample prepara...

identifying sediment sources is one of important factors in selecting of appropriate method of erosion control and soil conservation. the main objective of this study is to estimateuncertainty and contribution of forest roads to sediment yield in ziarat drainage basin, gorgan city using geochemical tracers. for this purpose, 47 soil samples were collected from different sources with different l...

sediment fingerprinting is a method for identifying sediment sources and determining the rate of contribution of each source. in this method, the natural tracer technology is used, that combined from samples collection, laboratory analyzing and statistical modeling. the natural tracers are measured in both the sources and suspended sediment to determine the rate of contribution each sources. th...

• The Brazilian semiarid is the most densely populated dry region in world. Sediment source apportionment was quantified a ephemeral catchment. combination of conventional and alternative tracers improved discrimination. Our results may gain high visibility given climate change projections for regions. Although underline need creation integrated strategies to protect water resources semiarid, s...
