"Foster should be congratulated for bringing to fruition a volume that will act as a springboard for future studies." (Progress in Physical Geography, Vol. 25. No.4 2001) ..".essential reference material for any geomorphologist...I wish it had been around when I completed my PhD..." (Geological Journal, January/March 2003)

An understanding of sediment sources and pathways make a contribution to solving environmental problems and maintaining biological diversity. Developments have occurred in the application of both direct monitoring and fingerprinting techniques and the application of new modelling strategies. This book brings together contributions from geomorphologists in monitoring, single or multitracer measurements and the development of modelling strategies to identify the relative significance of a number of potential sources. The book covers the use of tracers in all environments: aeolian, marine and fluvial.
