Title: The fate of large sediment inputs in rivers: Implications for watershed and waterway management

Author: Lisle, Thomas E.

Description: Valued resources in and along stream channels are commonly many river miles downstream of large sediment inputs such as landslides. Evaluating and predicting the arrival, severity, and duration of sediment impacts thus requires an understanding of how river channels digest elevated sediment loads.
