Numerical simulation models for rockfall, debris flows, and (hillslope and channel) fluvial processes are used to establish a spatially explicit graph model of sediment sources, pathways and sinks.

Isaack et al. (2016) present a sea-level driven model of sediment dynamics based on a multi-proxy record in the barrier-reef lagoon of Bora Bora in the South Pacific.
The authors develop a conceptual model of sediment carbon fate in karst terrain with specific emphasis upon phreatic karst conduits, i.e., those located below the groundwater table that have the potential to trap surface-derived sediment and turnover carbon.
A multivariate approach was chosen to look in detail at the derived sediment SFDs and pick up depth-related sub-environments that would help to construct a conceptual model of sediment movement.
This study examines the development of a conceptual model of sediment processes in the upper Yuba River watershed; and we hypothesize how components of the conceptual model may be spatially distributed using a geographical information system (GIS).
