Resource Abstract:
- <p>The U.S. Geological Survey has evaluated and adopted various field methods for collecting real-time sediment and nutrient
data. These methods have proven to be valuable representations of sediment and nutrient concentrations and loads but are not
able to accurately identify specific source areas. Recently, more advanced data collection and analysis techniques have been
evaluated that show promise in identifying specific source areas. Application of field methods could include studies of sources
of fluvial sediment, otherwise referred to as sediment fingerprinting. The identification of sediment is important, in part,
because knowing the primary sediment source areas in watersheds ensures that best management practices are incorporated in
areas that maximize reductions in sediment loadings. This report provides a literature review and annotated bibliography of
existing methodologies applied in the field of fluvial sediment fingerprinting. This literature review provides a bibliography
of publications where sediment fingerprinting methods have been used; however, this report is not assumed to provide an exhaustive
listing. Selected publications were categorized by methodology with some additional summary information. The information contained
in the summary may help researchers select methods better suited to their particular study or study area, and identify methods
in need of more testing and application.</p>
