Definition Suspended sediment is generally transported within and at the same velocity as the surrounding fluid (water or wind). The stronger the flow and/or the finer the sediment, the greater the amount of sediment that can be suspended by turbulence. Only the finer fraction (usually silt ...
For example, the Star and Running Rivers contributed 30% of Upper Burdekin discharge in the 2005/2006 water year, but only 3% of the total sediment load exported by this subcatchment. The tributaries draining these wetter coastal catch- ments are naturally forested with different geology ...

Even though they have apparent physiographic similarity and the climate conditions have some regularity along the coast, the estuaries of the eastern sector of the Amazon coast have some distinct characteristics (geology, drainage-basin size, and river discharge), causing them to experience different ...
