Erosion and Sediment Transport Measurement: Technological and Methodological Advances

The growing awareness of the important role of fluvial sediment in a wide range of environmental problems has accentuated the need for better and more consistent information, yet data collection in this field still lags behind other areas of hydrology. New problems call for new approaches, new strategies and new methods. Developments in what can be measured in the field, or on samples returned to the laboratory, and in how the data can be used, are moving forward apace. Innovative use of new technology enables data collection that was previously unthought of. This volume of 24 papers provides a synthesis of existing knowledge and a review of the progress of current research and development.
