About the Book

This is an overview of recent research on catchment processes, with a special focus on suspended sediment dynamics and the use of radionuclides and other tracers in source area discrimination and sediment fingerprinting. The volume marks the contributions of Professors K.J. Gregory and D.E. Walling to research on river channel morphology and drainage basin form and process.

Table of Contents:
Hydrology, Water Quality and Sediment Behaviour; QUANTITY AND QUALITY DIMENSIONS: The Role of GIS in Hydrology; Modelling Nitrate Leaching at the Catchment Scale; Regulation and Thermal Regime; SEDIMENT DYNAMICS AND YIELDS: A Conceptual Model of the Instantaneous Sedimentgraph; Magnitude and Frequency of Fluvial Sediment Transport Determined from Recent Lake Sediment Cores; Sediment Sources and Their Environmental Controls; SEDIMENT QUALITY: Sediment Mineralogy and the Environmental Impact of Mining; Long-Term Dispersal of Metals in Mineralized Catchments by Fluvial Processes; Fingerprinting Sediment Sources; SEDIMENT SOURCES AND SINKS: The Identification of Catchment Sediment Sources; Determination of Suspended Sediment Provenance Using Caesium-137, Unsupported Lead-210 and Radium-226: A Numerical Mixing Model Approach; Processes of River Bank Erosion and Their Contribution to the Suspended Sediment Load of the River Culm; The Rates and Patterns of Overbank Deposition on a Lowland Floodplain; Lake and Reservoir Bottom Sediments as a Source of Soil Erosion and Sediment Transport Data in the UK; RADIONUCLIDE STUDIES: The Development and Application of Caesium-137 Measurements in Erosion Investigations; Estimation of Erosion Rates from Caesium-137 Data; The Erosional Transport of Radiocaesium in Catchment Systems; NATIONAL AND GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES: Patterns of Erosion and Suspended Sediment Yield in Mediterranean River Basins; Soil Erosion and Sediment Yield in the Philippines; Sediment Yield from Alpine Glacier Basins; Sediment Transport and Deposition in Mountain Rivers; Sediment Dynamics in the Polish Flysch Carpathians.
