"sediment source" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
You could use it to describe a location where sediment is accumulated, such as in an ocean or lake. For example: "The sediment source of this lake is erosion from the nearby mountains."
Mixing model results from samples measured across H20 indicate a significant change in sediment source areas within the Mississippi system.
Sediment source fingerprinting provides an essential means for estimating sediment source contributions, which are needed not only for soil conservation planning but also for erosion model evaluation/refinement.
The objective of much sedimentological research is the interpretation of ancient environmental conditions in sediment source areas and depositional sites.
Furthermore, refinement of the sediment source fingerprinting technique requires that several methodological issues be addressed.
210Pb can be used as one tracer to permit sediment source area identification.
We additionally applied a provenance analysis on alluvial fill deposits to estimate potential sediment source areas.
In the Heishui subwatershed, however, sediment source contributed more to soil erosion processes than sink.
Fine sediment source fingerprinting techniques have been widely applied in agricultural river catchments.
Again, a northern sediment source is generally indicated, but a borehole well to the north near Münster has encountered Middle and lower Upper Devonian marine limestones.
A cost effective sampling approach involving composite sampling, identified potential sediment source materials from the four main agricultural fields.
Studied sediments have been deposited in a forearc basin, with the outer arc ridge as a major sediment source.
