Full textAbstract:
Computer modeling techniques are used for predicting soil losses from overland flow and subsequent suspended sediment yield from large watersheds. The model LAVSED-I (LAVal SEDidentological model No. 1) is based on the universal soil-loss equation of Wischmeier and Smith and the equation of Kiline and Richardson. The model subdivides the watershed into square units varying in size from 0.3 to 3000 km2 and the computational procedure is subdivided in four components: precipitation, physical characteristics of watersheds, erosion/sedimentation, and land use. This paper describes the operational development and the application of the model to a prototype-scale watershed. A map for the annual soil loss is presented for the Chaudière watershed (area = 5830 km2). Results of mapping compared with the sediment yield observed are shown in the paper.

Sedimen tersuspensi dianggap sebagai sedimen yang didistribusikan oleh arus laut. Arus sepanjang pantai (longshore current) berperan besar terhadap proses perpindahan sedimen di perairan. Gelombang laut yang yang membentuk sudut terhadap garis pantai menyebabkan arus sepanjang pantai Transpor sedimen yang disebabkan oleh arus sepanjang panti sering menimbulkan permasalahan erosi pantai dan pendangkalan perairan. Perairan Teluk Awur memiliki bentuk teluk dan tanjung yang memungkinkan terjadinya arus sepanjang pantai. Potensi adanya proses erosi dan sedimentasi di perairan Teluk Awur membuat pentingnya kajian mengenai pola sebaran sedimen tersuspensi. Penelitian ini mampu menjelaskan tentang pola sebaran sedimen tersuspensi di perairan Teluk Awur, Kecamatan Tahunan, Kabupaten Jepara. Metode yang digunakan untuk penentuan sedimen tersuspensi menggunakan pengindraan jauh dan data yang digunakan yaitu citra satelit landsat-8. Kandungan sedimen tersuspensi tertinggi berada di Desa Teluk Awur dan Desa Demaan. Kandungan tertinggi sebesar ± 67,54 mg/L dan semakin menjauhi pantai konsentrasi menurun. Tingginya kadungan sedimen tersuspensi dipengaruhi oleh proses mixing dan intensitas curah hujan. Suspended sediments are considered as sediments distributed by ocean currents. Current along the coast (longshore current) plays a major role in the process of transfer of sediment in the waters. Sea waves that form angles to the coastline cause currents along the coast Sediment transport caused by currents along the orphanage often cause erosion and coastal silting problems. The waters of Teluk Awur have the shape of bays and headlands which allow currents along the coast. The potential for erosion and sedimentation in the Awur Bay waters makes it important to study the pattern of suspended sediment distribution. This research is able to explain the pattern of suspended sediment distribution in Awur Bay waters, Annual District, Jepara Regency. The method used to determine suspended sediment uses remote sensing and the data used are Landsat-8 satellite imagery. The highest suspended sediment content was in Teluk Awur Village and Demaan Village. The highest content of ± 67.54 mg / L and increasingly away from the beach decreased concentration. The high suspended sediment content is influenced by the mixing process and the intensity of rainfall.

Full textAbstract:
The Kärkevagge (Abisko area, Northern Sweden) represents a focus research basin concerning geomorphic processes and sediment budgets for the last 50 years. Different geomorphic process studies provide comparative data sets concerning climate variability implications on sediment transfers. While monitoring of sediment transfers is discontinuous with respect to study periods and methods, a detailed chronology of high-magnitude events with significant sediment displacement is available. In continuation of these studies, investigations in 1995 and 1998 as part of the MOSAIC project (Modelling Of Snowmelt And Its Consequences) are concentrating on snowmelt-induced slushflow initiation and transports of sediments in several small headwater catchments during the snowmelt period. Main purpose of the investigations is to characterize different catchment sections in terms of their hydrologic and sedimentologic contribution to the total fluvial and sediment budget of the basin, and to evaluate their specific sensitivity related to changes in atmospheric boundary conditions. By means of these data sets, the temporal variability of fluvial sediment transfers can be assessed over different time scales. The paper focuses on a description of different sections in the fluvial sediment transfer system in Kärkevagge. By comparing results from recent field investigations with data from former studies, the significance of rainfall- and snowmelt-triggered events for sediment transfers is evaluated.

ABSTRACT Bacterial enrichment cultures developed with Baltimore Harbor (BH) sediments were found to reductively dechlorinate 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorobiphenyl (2,3,5,6-CB) when incubated in a minimal estuarine medium containing short-chain fatty acids under anaerobic conditions with and without the addition of sediment. Primary enrichment cultures formed both meta and orthodechlorination products from 2,3,5,6-CB. The lag time preceding dechlorination decreased from 30 to less than 20 days as the cultures were sequentially transferred into estuarine medium containing dried, sterile BH sediment. In addition, only ortho dechlorination was observed following transfer of the cultures. Sequential transfer into medium without added sediment also resulted in the development of a strict ortho-dechlorinating culture following a lag of more than 100 days. Upon further transfer into the minimal medium without sediment, the lag time decreased to less than 50 days. At this stage all cultures, regardless of the presence of sediment, would produce 2,3,5-CB and 3,5-CB from 2,3,5,6-CB. The strictortho-dechlorinating activity in the sediment-free cultures has remained stable for more than 1 year through several transfers. These results reveal that the classical microbial enrichment technique using a minimal medium with a single polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener selected for ortho dechlorination of 2,3,5,6-CB. Furthermore, this is the first report of sustained anaerobic PCB dechlorination in the complete absence of soil or sediment.

Abstract. The estimation of sediment transfer times remains a challenge to our understanding of sediment budgets and the relationships between erosion and climate. Uranium (U) and thorium (Th) isotope disequilibria offer a means of more robustly constraining sediment transfer times. Here, we present new uranium and thorium disequilibrium data for a series of nested moraines around Lago Buenos Aires in Argentine Patagonia. The glacial chronology for the area is constrained using in situ cosmogenic 10Be analysis of glacial outwash. Sediment transfer times within the periglacial domain were estimated by comparing the deposition ages of moraines to the theoretical age of sediment production, i.e., the comminution age inferred from U disequilibrium data and recoil loss factor estimates. Our data show first that the classical comminution age approach must include weathering processes accounted for by measuring Th disequilibrium. Second, our combined data suggest that the pre-deposition history of the moraine sediments is not negligible, as evidenced by the large disequilibrium of the youngest moraines despite the equilibrium of the corresponding glacial flour. Monte Carlo simulations suggest that weathering was more intense before the deposition of the moraines and that the transfer time of the fine sediments to the moraines was on the order of 100–200 kyr. Long transfer times could result from a combination of long sediment residence times in the proglacial lake (recurrence time of a glacial cycle) and the remobilization of sediments from moraines deposited during previous glacial cycles. 10Be data suggest that some glacial cycles are absent from the preserved moraine record (seemingly every second cycle), supporting a model of reworking moraines and/or fluctuations in the extent of glacial advances. The chronological pattern is consistent with the U–Th disequilibrium data and the 100–200 kyr transfer time. This long transfer time raises the question of the proportion of freshly eroded sediments that escape (or not) the proglacial environments during glacial periods.

We examined uptake of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) into various marine sediment feeders relative to physical and geochemical factors and transfer to higher trophic levels. PCBs exceeding Canadian Council Ministers of the Environment Guidelines by 6–55× were found in industrialized harbours and some near-outfall sediments, indicating ongoing land input. Sediment PCBs were correlated with organic flux and content. Tissue PCBs were >10× sediment PCBs in all samples and highest in Victoria Harbour infauna, suggesting considerable uptake from these extremely contaminated, organically enriched, chronically disturbed sediments. Sediment PCBs were the primary predictor of tissue lipid PCBs followed by %fines. This results in generally higher tissue PCBs in more depositional regions. The lipid/sediment PCBs (uptake rate) declined with increasing sediment PCBs, acid volatile sulfides and benthos biomass turnover. PCB homologue composition did not change with uptake from sediments or at higher trophic levels, suggesting minimal metabolization in tissues. Trophic bio-magnification occurs since lipid PCBs were 2–100× higher in seal blubber than sediment feeders. PCBs were compared with polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) for the same samples. PCBs were highest in industrialized harbours, whereas PBDEs were elevated in harbours but highest near wastewater discharges. This reflects differences in usage history, sediment dynamics, and affinities. PCBs appear to be more bio-accumulative and persistent at higher trophic levels than PBDEs.

Lake sediments store metal contaminants from historic pesticide and herbicide use and mining operations. Historical regional smelter operations in the Puget Sound lowlands have resulted in arsenic concentrations exceeding 200 μg As g-1 in urban lake sediments. Prior research has elucidated how sediment oxygen demand, warmer sediment temperatures, and alternating stratification and convective mixing in shallow lakes results in higher concentrations of arsenic in aquatic organisms when compared to deeper, seasonally stratified lakes with similar levels of arsenic pollution in profundal sediments. In this study we examine the trophic pathways for arsenic transfer through the aquatic food web of urban lakes in the Puget Sound lowlands, measuring C and N isotopes–to determine resource usage and trophic level–and total and inorganic arsenic in primary producers and primary and secondary consumers. Our results show higher levels of arsenic in periphyton than in other primary producers, and higher concentrations in snails than zooplankton or insect macroinvertebrates. In shallow lakes arsenic concentrations in littoral sediment are similar to deep profundal sediments due to arsenic remobilization, mixing, and redeposition, resulting in direct arsenic exposure to littoral benthic organisms such as periphyton and snails. The influence of littoral sediment on determining arsenic trophic transfer is evidenced by our results which show significant correlations between total arsenic in littoral sediment and total arsenic in periphyton, phytoplankton, zooplankton, snails, and fish across multiple lakes. We also found a consistent relationship between percent inorganic arsenic and trophic level (determined by δ15N) in lakes with different depths and mixing regimes. Cumulatively, these results combine to provide a strong empirical relationship between littoral sediment arsenic levels and inorganic arsenic in edible species that can be used to screen lakes for potential human health risk using an easy, inexpensive sampling and analysis method.

Abstract Three case studies on trace metal contamination in urban stormwater are presented from the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia. In the first case study, the spatial and temporal variability in trace metals in sediments were determined in the completely urbanized Brunette watershed. A natural lake in the middle of the watershed acts as a sediment detention system, and an analysis of the sediment core showed the historic accumulation of metal and selective organic contaminants in sediments since the early 1800s. Suspended sediments transported during storm events showed significantly higher concentrations of trace metals than bedload sediments, and the largest proportion of the geochemically active metals was found to be associated with the organic-sulphur-based fraction. Benthic organism survival tests showed mixed results with lower survival and growth in urban sediments than in control sediments from a forested watershed. In the second case study, significant correlations were obtained between percent impervious cover and trace metal concentrations in 28 subwatersheds with various degrees of urbanization. It is shown that imperviousness combined with traffic density can significantly improve the prediction of metal contamination in highly urbanized watersheds. In the third case study five urban stormwater detention systems were examined over one year to determine how effective these systems were in removing metal contamination. The results were highly variable depending on a wide range of physical conditions, land use activities, traffic volume, and detention system designs. The range of total metal detention was between −15 to +72% for copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn), while iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) retention was generally poor. Labile Zn was more effectively retained in four of the five ponds, and a significant relationship was found between percent imperviousness, traffic volume, and Zn concentrations in water, sediment, and labile form.

ABSTRACT The transfer of Cryptosporidium oocysts from the surface water to the sediment beds of streams and rivers influences their migration in surface waters. We used controlled laboratory flume experiments to investigate the deposition of suspended Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts in streambeds. The experimental results demonstrate that hydrodynamic interactions between an overlying flow and a sediment bed cause oocysts to accumulate in the sediments and reduce their concentrations in the surface water. The association of C. parvum with other suspended sediments increased both the oocysts' effective settling velocity and the rate at which oocysts were transferred to the sediment bed. A model for the stream-subsurface exchange of colloidal particles, including physical transport and physicochemical interactions with sediment grains, accurately represented the deposition of both free C. parvum oocysts and oocysts that were attached to suspended sediments. We believe that these pathogen-sediment interactions play an important role in regulating the concentrations of Cryptosporidium in streams and rivers and should be taken into consideration when predicting the fate of pathogens in the environment.

Environmental contextAt sediment surfaces, the availability of oxygen is controlled by its downward transport from the water surface and its consumption in microbial metabolism. Microorganisms can also consume substances other than oxygen to dispose of the surplus charge that is generated during microbial metabolism. We investigate the complex dynamics of these other substances when the oxygen availability fluctuates, and thereby contribute to the mechanistic understanding of oxygen-consuming processes in aquatic environments. AbstractBenthic mineralisation in lakes largely controls the availability of oxygen in the water column above the sediment. In stratified lakes with anoxic hypolimnetic waters, mineralisation proceeds by anaerobic respiration using terminal electron acceptors (TEAs) other than O2. In past work, hypolimnetic oxygen consumption has been estimated from vertical concentration profiles of redox-active dissolved species in the water column and the underlying sediment. Electron transfer to and from particulate mineral and organic phases in the sediments was, however, not accounted for, mainly because of methodological constraints. In this work we use an electrochemical approach, mediated electrochemical analysis, to directly quantify changes in the redox states of particulate geochemical phases in a lake sediment. In mesocosm incubations, sediments were subjected to shifting oxygen availability similar to conditions during and after lake overturn events. The temporal redox dynamics of both dissolved and particulate phases in sediments were monitored at a high spatial resolution. We used a combination of experimental and modelling approaches to couple the observed changes in the redox state of dissolved and particulate species in the sediment to the oxygen turnover in the overlying water column. For the studied freshwater sediment, the amount of O2 consumed during the re-oxidation of these phases in the top 21mm of the sediment after switching from hypoxic to oxic conditions corresponded to ~50% of the total sediment oxygen consumption that was estimated from in-lake measurements after the onset of summer stratification. We found that solid phases in the sediments play a more profound role in electron accepting processes than previously considered. Based on these results, we propose that the herein presented analytical method offers the possibility to constrain parameters in theoretical models that simulate benthic redox dynamics including the electron transfer to and from geochemical phases in the sediments.
