Based on the sediment accumulation rate, the remaining reservoir capacity for each study site was estimated.
The reflection coefficients including attenuation at the seawater/bottom interface are computed in the three different sediment areas based on the sediment mean grain size.
Based on the sediment characterization and modeling results, the active capping design will be focused on organic contaminant sequestration through the use of organoclay.
For the estimation of the recurrence period of earthquakes based on the sediment records, the chronological control is crucial for obtaining the more reliable value (e.g. Agnon et al. 2006).
Similar to Eq. (7), we assumed that 10.0% of the sediment flowing into Dongting Lake is deposited within Dongting Lake, based on the sediment budget presented in Fig. 4: {Q}_{mathrm{DTL},mathrm{output}}=0.9times {Q}_{mathrm{DTL},mathrm{input}}.
Bacterial transport through cores of intact, glacial-outwash aquifer sediment was investigated with the overall goal of better understanding bacterial transport and developing a predictive capability based on the sediment characteristics.
Palaeo-fluvial reconstructions based on the sediment archives in the alluvial reach of the river basin are important tools in understanding the long-term hydrological changes and the intricate fluvial architecture preserved in the Narmada River basin ensures scope for detailed studies to identify phases of weak and enhanced hydrological regimes.
Similarly, pesticide resuspension flux was based on the sediment resuspension flux and the concentration of sediment-bound pesticide.
Based on the USEPA sediments classification (Giesy and Hoke [1990]), Cd, Fe, and Pb may pose little or no pollution.
Based on the USEPA sediments classification (Giesy and Hoke [1990]), Cr, Cu, and Zn show moderate contamination, Mn and Pb exhibit heavy pollution, and Cd and Fe reveal little or no contamination in the sediments during summer.
