Metal Stable Isotope Signatures as Tracers in Environmental Geochemistry
TL;DR: This review presents the application of metal stable isotopes as source and process tracers in environmental studies, in particular by using mixing and Rayleigh model approaches and the extent of natural isotopic variations for different elements is compared.

J. Patrick Laceby,Olivier Evrard,Hugh Smith,William H. Blake,Jon Olley,Jean Paolo Gomes Minella,Philip N. Owens +6 more
TL;DR: The challenges and opportunities of addressing particle size effects in sediment source fingerprinting are discussed in this paper, where the authors present a review of the current state-of-the-art.

The way forward: Can connectivity be useful to design better measuring and modelling schemes for water and sediment dynamics?
Saskia Keesstra,Saskia Keesstra,João Osvaldo Rodrigues Nunes,João Osvaldo Rodrigues Nunes,Patricia M. Saco,Tony Parsons,Ronald E. Poeppl,Rens Masselink,Artemi Cerdà +8 more
TL;DR: A short review of the State-of-the-Art of the connectivity concept is provided, from which it is concluded that scientists have been struggling to find a way to quantify connectivity so far.

Fingerprinting and tracing the sources of soils and sediments: Earth and ocean science, geoarchaeological, forensic, and human health applications
P. N. Owens,William H. Blake,Leticia Gaspar,Leticia Gaspar,David Gateuille,David Gateuille,Alexander J. Koiter,David A. Lobb,Ellen L. Petticrew,Dominic Reiffarth,Hugh Smith,Jamie Woodward +11 more
TL;DR: Sediment source fingerprinting utilizes the diagnostic physical, chemical and biological properties (i.e., tracers) of source materials to enable samples of collected sediment to be apportioned to these sources as mentioned in this paper.

Source identification, geochemical normalization and influence factors of heavy metals in Yangtze River Estuary sediment.
TL;DR: This study indicates a decreasing trend of metals in sediments from the estuary towards the adjacent shelf and the river channel and that Zn, Cu and Cr are mainly derived from natural processes throughout the catchment, whereas Pb appears to have anthropogenic inputs via atmospheric deposition.

The calculation of lead-210 dates assuming a constant rate of supply of unsupported 210Pb to the sediment
Peter G. Appleby,Frank Oldfield +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of calculating sediment age from 210Pb profiles where changes in accumulation rate have affected initial 210pb concentration is described. But the assumption of a constant initial concentration of unsupported 210PB per unit dry weight at each stage of accumulation, despite variations in accumulation rates, is incorrect.
