Statistically veriยฎed composite ยฎngerprints and a multivariate mixing model have been employed to establish the main sources of the suspended sediment transported through the lower, non-tidal reaches of the River Ouse and one of its main tributaries, the River Wharfe, during the period 1994ยฑ1997.

A mass balance budget of the suspended sediment in the St. Lawrence River was established for the sector stretching from Cornwall, Ontario, to Quebec City, Quebec, for the period 1989ยฑ1993. The approach consisted of analysing the amount of sediment contributed by the dierent tributaries, on a waters
Lake sediments provide an integrated record of the sediment yields and sources in the contributing basin. In the research area on the prairies of western Canada, the earliest sediments deposited in the larger lakes predate European settlement, allowing direct evaluation of basin response to settleme
A central objective of the LOIS Community Research Programme is to provide estimates of the landยฑocean ยฏux of suspended sediment from the LOIS study area. While high frequency (15-minute interval) suspended sediment concentration data are recorded within the programme at six tidal limit sites, infre
## Abstract Reliable information on catchment scale suspended sediment sources is required to inform the design of management strategies for helping abate the numerous environmental issues associated with enhanced sediment mobilization and offโsite loadings. Since sediment fingerprinting techniques
Sediment fingerprinting appears to offer a valuable alternative to direct monitoring for elucidating the provenance of suspended sediment and the relative importance of spatial zones or subcatchments comprising larger (>500 km 2 ) drainage basins. Against this background, a quantitative composite fi
