Sediment sources in the Upper Severn catchment: a fingerprinting approach [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 1997 Suspended sediment sources in the Upper Severn catchment are quantified using a composite fingerprinting technique combining statistically-verified signatures with a multivariate mixing model.

Prevalent fingerprint of marine macroalgae in arctic surface sediments [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2023 Macroalgal forests export much of their production, partly supporting food webs and carbon stocks beyond their habitat, but evidence of their contribution in sediment carbon stocks is poor. We test the hypothesis that macroalgae contribute to carbon stocks in arctic marine sediments.

How to evaluate sediment fingerprinting source apportionments [PDF]
Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2022 Abstract Purpose Evaluating sediment fingerprinting source apportionments with artificial mixtures is crucial for supporting decision-making and advancing modeling approaches. However, artificial mixtures are rarely incorporated into fingerprinting research and guidelines for model testing are currently lacking. Here, we

Evaluating the importance of surface soil contributions to reservoir sediment in alpine environments: a combined modelling and fingerprinting approach in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2014 Soil in alpine environments plays a key role in the development of ecosystem services and in order to maintain and preserve this important resource, information is required on processes that lead to soil erosion.

Monitoring land use impacts on sediment production: a case study of the pilot catchment from the Brazilian program of payment for environmental services [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2020 Through the lack or non-use of conservationist criteria for adequate land use and management, the scarcity of natural resources becomes ever more evident.

APPLICABILITY OF FINGERPRINTING FOR IDENTIFICATION OF SEDIMENT SOURCES IN A MESOSCALE SEMIARID CATCHMENT [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2018 The study aimed at identifying sediment sources in a mesoscale catchment (933 km2) located in the Brazilian semiarid region. The research explored the potential of using a fingerprinting technique to verify the origin of eroded sediments in a catchment ...

Fingerprinting historical fluvial sediment fluxes [PDF]
Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 2012 In order to better understand the human impact on fluvial sediment dynamics at various timescales, information on the changing connectivity between the various geomorphic units in a landscape is crucial. Quantitative sediment budgets for various time periods provide a first assessment of changes in coupling between slopes and river systems.
