Sediment fingerprinting in fluvial systems: review of tracers, sediment sources and mixing models [PDF]
International Journal of Sediment Research, 2013 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.

CATENA, 2021 Abstract There is an urgent need for reliable and cost-effective sediment source tracing techniques for apportioning aeolian sediment (sand dune) sources for guiding the selection of best management practices for wind erosion control. Accordingly, the main aim of this study was to quantify the contributions of aeolian sources to sand dune target ...

Fingerprinting Suspended Sediment Sources in an Urbanized Watershed [PDF]
Water, 2018 The elevated supply of fine-grained sediment to a river system negatively impacts the water quality and ecosystem health. Therefore, quantification of the relative contribution from different sources to in-stream sediment is of major interest to target sediment mitigation best management practices (BMPs).

Estimating typical sediment concentration probability density functions for European rivers [PDF]
, 2005 Sediment in rivers is linked with qualitative and quantitative water problems throughout Europe. Sediment supply and transfer are part of a natural process of minimising gradients in the landscape.

Sediment Source Fingerprinting of the Lake Urmia Sand Dunes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractAeolian sand dunes are continuously being discovered in inner dry lands and coastal areas, most of which have been formed over the Last Glacial Maximum. Presently, due to some natural and anthropogenic implications on earth, newly-born sand dunes are quickly emerging.
