The standard experimental methods used for sampling suspended loads in large rivers are usually time consuming, unsafe, rather expensive, and have a limited spatial resolution. Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), ...

Hydrology and sedimentology development have been very limited in Peru in comparison to other sciences due to a lack of reliable suspended sediment data. A new na-tional suspended sediment yield (SSY) dataset (1948-2012) ...

Several approaches exist to model the production, transport and delivery of water and sediment flows in watersheds but none of these are dealing with spatial optimality requirements. However, policy and decision makers ...

Abstract. In this paper the sediment budget at the confluence of the Paraná-Paraguay rivers, is updated on the base of new suspended sediment concentrations data, measured during the nineties at carefullly located ...

Field measurements of sediment transport in gravel bed rivers often reveal hysteretic effects due to differences in sediment availability between the rising and falling limbs of a flood hydrograph. However, only a small ...

The Madeira River is the second largest tributary of the Amazon River. It contributes approximately 13% of the Amazon River flow and it may contribute up to 50% of its sediment discharge to the Atlantic Ocean. Until now, ...

This chapter reviews data, models, and analyses on Anthropocene-impacted sediment fluxes in the Andes of Colombia and provides examples on how direct human alteration has increased sediment flux during the last decades. ...

Two rivers located in the subtropical Chaco</place /> plain are compared in order to analyse the sediment transport dynamics. Gauging and sediment samples were obtained during different hydrological stages. Grain size and ...

This study examines the morphological features, suspended sediment inputs and hydraulic conditions within a large river in association with ecological patterns before and after a tributary confluence. In order to examine ...
