Erosion characteristics and floc strength of Athabasca River cohesive sediments: towards managing sediment-related issues

On the consolidation and erosion of cohesive sediments

Prediction of Cohesive Sediment Erosion Rate and Analyzing the Effective Parameters Using Artificial Neural Network

Transferring mechanic of cohesive sediments are different from non-cohesive sediments. For determining the erosion rate of non-cohesive sediments, physical parameters such as average diameter and density are used, such as average diameter and density. Due to the nature of the cohesive sediments, their erosion rates are determined interrelated with the shear stress of the bed with fixed coeffici...

Fine sediment and nutrient dynamics related to particle size and floc formation in a Burdekin River flood plume, Australia.

The extreme 2010-2011 wet season resulted in highly elevated Burdekin River discharge into the Great Barrier Reef lagoon for a period of 200 days, resulting in a large flood plume extending >50km offshore and >100km north during peak conditions. Export of suspended sediment was dominated by clay and fine silt fractions and most sediment initially settled within ∼10km of the river mouth. Biologi...

Combining Field and Laboratory Measurements to Determine the Erosion Risk of Cohesive Sediments Best

In contrast to non-cohesive sediments, the incipient motion of cohesive sediments is characterized by much more complex interactions between several sedimentary, biological, and chemical parameters. Thus, site-specific investigations are required to obtain information about the erosion stability of cohesive materials. This becomes even more relevant for contaminated sediments, stored in riverin...
