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), ...

The impact of the diverse processes responsible for the distribution of suspended sediments in the wide, shallow, and microtidal Río de la Plata estuary and the adjacent shelf is studied by means of a set of process-oriented ...

Tropical mountain ecosystems are sensitive to environmental change brought about by natural and anthropogenic processes. The steep topography, shallow soils and unsustainable land use practices following forest conversion ...

Fluvial sediment dynamics plays a key role in the Amazonian environment, with most of the sediments originating in the Andes. The Madeira River, the second largest tributary of the Amazon River, contributes up to 50% of ...

A method of using two acoustic Doppler current profilers operating at different frequencies and employed at the same measuring vertical to sample a profile of suspended sediment concentration has been previously applied ...

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 ...

Quantifying sediment flux within rivers is a challenge for many disciplines due, mainly, to difficulties inherent to traditional sediment sampling methods. These methods are operationally complex, high cost, and high risk. ...

This paper evaluates the behavior of suspended sediment load of the river Ivaí over a period of 32 years measured by the station further downstream the river (Novo Porto Taquara). The most suitable parameters for this ...
