Isotopes -- Abbreviations, Unit Conversions, and Elemental Data. 330 $aThis book takes an in-depth look at the theory and methods inherent in the tracing of riverine sediments.  Examined tracers include multi-elemental concentration data, fallout radionuclides (e.g., 210Pb, 137Cs, 7Be), radiogenic isotopes (particularly those of Pb, Sr, and Nd), and novel (?non-traditional?) stable isotopes (e.g., Cd, Cu, Hg, and Zn), the latter of which owe their application to recent advances in analytical chemistry. The intended goal is not to replace more ?traditional? analyses of the riverine sediment system, but to show how tracer/fingerprinting studies can be used to gain insights into system functions that would not otherwise be possible. The text, then, provides researchers and catchment managers with a summary of the strengths and limitations of the examined techniques in terms of their temporal and spatial resolution, data requirements, and the uncertainties in the generated results. The use of environmental tracers has increased significantly during the past decade because it has become clear that documentation of sediment and sediment-associated contaminant provenance and dispersal is essential to mitigate their potentially harmful effects on aquatic ecosystems. Moreover, the use of monitoring programs to determine the source of sediments to a water body has proven to be a costly, labor intensive, long-term process with a spatial resolution that is limited by the number of monitoring sites that can be effectively maintained. Alternative approaches, including the identification and analysis of eroded upland areas and the use of distributed modeling routines also have proven problematic. The application of tracers within riverine environments has evolved such that they focus on sediments from two general sources: upland areas and specific, localized, anthropogenic point sources. Of particular importance to the former is the development of geochemical fingerprinting methods that quantify sediment provenance (and to a much lesser degree, sediment-associated contaminants) at the catchment scale. These methods have largely developed independently of the use of tracers to document the source and dispersal pathways of contaminated particles from point-sources of anthropogenic pollution at the reach- to river corridor-scale. Future studies are likely to begin merging the strengths of both approaches while relying on multiple tracer types to address management and regulatory issues, particularly within the context of the rapidly developing field of environmental forensics. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,$x2191-5369 606 $aSedimentology 606 $aGeochemistry 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aHydrogeology 606 $aSedimentology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17080 606 $aGeochemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G14003 606 $aEnvironmental Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U18005 606 $aHydrogeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G19005 615 0$aSedimentology. 615 0$aGeochemistry. 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 0$aHydrogeology. 615 14$aSedimentology. 615 24$aGeochemistry. 615 24$aEnvironmental Health. 615 24$aHydrogeology. 676 $a627.54 700 $aMiller$b Jerry R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0125121 702 $aMackin$b Gail$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aOrbock Miller$b Suzanne M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299452503321 996 $aApplication of Geochemical Tracers to Fluvial Sediment$92530886 997 $aUNINA
