| Title | Toward a Practical Method for Estimating Sediment Transport Rates in Gravel-bed Rivers |
| Creator | Wilcock, Peter |
| Description | Estimates of sediment transport rates in gravel-bed rivers are typically developed from formulae or from a sampling campaign. The former are notoriously inaccurate; the latter require a large effort and may still not achieve acceptable accuracy. A wide range of geomorphological problems, particularly those at the watershed scale, could be addressed more accurately if reliable local estimates of transport rate could be incorporated routinely into such studies. This requires a method for... |
