The behavioural characteristics of sediment properties and their implications for sediment fingerprinting as an approach for identifying sediment sources in river basins
TLDR
Sediment fingerprinting is a technique that is increasingly being used to improve the understanding of sediment dynamics within river basins as mentioned in this paper, however, one of the main limitations of the technique is the ability to link sediment back to their sources due to the non-conservative nature of many of the sediment properties.About:
