Characterization and quantification of suspended sediment sources to the Manawatu River, New Zealand.
TL;DR: Sediment fingerprinting was applied to the Manawatu River Catchment to differentiate 8 geological and geomorphological sources and consistent source estimates were achieved between models with optimization techniques providing globally optimal solutions for sediment quantification.

Application of a confluence-based sediment-fingerprinting approach to a dynamic sedimentary catchment, New Zealand
TL;DR: In this article, sediment fingerprinting was applied to major river confluences in the Manawatu catchment as a broad-scale application to characterizing sub-catchment sediment contributions for a sedimentary catchment dominated by agriculture.

Impacts of tracer type, tracer selection, and source dominance on source apportionment with sediment fingerprinting.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors assess sensitivity to tracer type, selection, and number of sources, and examine how variations in the dominant sediment source affect the accuracy of source apportionments using numerical mixtures.

TL;DR: In this article , the extent to which an array of sources defined spatially according to erosion process and geological parent material may be discriminated and classified based on sediment-related water quality (SRWQ) attributes that potentially affect visual clarity was examined.
