Analyses of suspended sediment loads in Slovenian rivers [PDF]
ABSTRACTSuspended solids are present in every river, but high quantities can worsen the ecological conditions of streams; therefore, effective monitoring and analysis of this hydrological variable are necessary. Frequency, seasonality, inter-correlation, extreme events, trends and lag analyses were carried out for peaks of suspended sediment ...

Impact of Reduced Fluvial Sediment Supply on Saltwater Intrusion in the Yangtze Estuary
A decline of the fluvial sediment supply leads to coastal erosion and land loss. However, the fluvial sediment load may influence not only coastal morphodynamics but also estuarine hydrodynamics and associated saltwater intrusion.

Sediment sink-source transitions in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River estuary
Human activities have severely altered the Yangtze River (Changjiang) Estuary’s pattern, beach-trough shape, and delta in recent decades. Existing research has studied the sediment “source–sink” relationship between the Yangtze River mainstream and ...

On the Issue of Calculation of the Suspended Sediment Load Discharge
The article deals with the questions of the contribution of suspended sediment in the processes of formation of the channel, and includes several formulas of suspended sediment discharge calculation and the results of calculations by these formulas. An analytical formula of sediments, in which the absolute exponent of the degree of arguments is equal ...

Dynamic Characteristics of Suspended Load and Bed Load Transport in Meltwater Runoff of Qiyi Glacier
[Objective] The transportation of sediment via glacial meltwater can not only reflect the glacial erosion and landform evolution, but also is one of the important sediment sources for the downstream river.

Annual suspended sediment load of the Yenisei river
Field studies, including high-frequency sampling for suspended sediment flux estimation, were conducted in 20142016 in the city of Igarka, at the outlet of the Yenisei River. During spring freshet of each year, multiple suspended sediment concentration (SSC) peaks were observed, irrelated to water discharge fluctuations.
