Modeling the dynamics of soil erosion and size-selective sediment transport over nonuniform topography in flume-scale experiments [PDF]
, 2011 Soil erosion and the associated nutrient fluxes can lead to severe degradation of surface waters. Given that both sediment transport and nutrient sorption are size selective, it is important to predict the particle size distribution (PSD) as well as the ...

The erodibility of fine sediment deposits in lowland chalk streams [PDF]
, 2011 PhDLowland chalk streams in the UK are experiencing increased deposition of fine sediment due to changes in land-use practices, channel modifications, and groundwater abstraction.

Sediment transport by runoff on debris-mantled dryland hillslopes [PDF]
, 2012 Hillslopes supply sediment to river channels, and therefore impact drainage basin functioning and evolution. The relationship between hillslope attributes and sediment flux forms the basis of geomorphic transport laws used to model the long-term ...

Lateral sediment sources and knickzones as controls on spatio-temporal variations of sediment transport in an Alpine river [PDF]
, 2013 Modern mixed alluvial-bedrock channels in mountainous areas provide natural laboratories for understanding the time scales at which coarse-grained material has been entrained and transported from their sources to the adjacent sedimentary sink, where ...

Particle reworking and solute transport by the sediment-living polychaetes Marenzelleria neglecta and Hediste diversicolor [PDF]
, 2011 This experimental study quantified and compared particle-mixing and solute transport by the polychaetes Marenzelleria neglecta (2 g ww, 3200 ind.m−2) and Hediste diversicolor (2 g ww, 800 ind.m−2) in Baltic Sea sediments.

Sampling Strategies to Improve Passive Optical Remote Sensing of River Bathymetry
Remote Sensing, 2018 Passive optical remote sensing of river bathymetry involves establishing a relation between depth and reflectance that can be applied throughout an image to produce a depth map. Building upon the Optimal Band Ratio Analysis (OBRA) framework, we introduce

The use of artificial neural networks to analyze and predict alongshore sediment transport [PDF]
, 2010 An artificial neural network (ANN) was developed to predict the depth-integrated alongshore suspended sediment transport rate using 4 input variables (water depth, wave height and period, and alongshore velocity).

Fine sediment transport and management [PDF]
, 2016 This chapter considers the key concepts to develop an improved understanding of the fine sediment loads of rivers. The key concepts are non‐capacity and supply‐controlled nature of fine sediment transport, the significance of grain size, sediment ...
