    Abstract: The important role of floodplains and the broader riparian zone in providing temporary storage for a large fraction of the annual sediment load of rivers is well established, but this understanding is largely based on observations of the long‐term average behavior of the catchment. Here we combine measurements of the fallout radionuclides 7 Be and 210 Pb and the stable isotopes of hydrogen in water to quantify fine sediment mobilization and storage in a stream and its channel margins during individual intermediate‐sized storm events with recurrence intervals of a few months or less. We demonstrate this method using five storm events in a small (~15 km 2 ), undeveloped, gravel‐bedded tributary of the Connecticut River (USA). We estimate that in each storm, the mass of sediment deposited onto the margins accounts for almost 90% of the sediment mobilized from the bed, with the remainder of the mobilized bed sediment transported downstream as suspended load. The result that the bed is a net source of sediment to the stream and the margins a net sink is robust, but estimates of the mass of material eroded from the bed and deposited on the margins are less certain. The source of sediment to the bed remains unclear as, consistent with earlier studies, we observe only limited deposition of sediment to the bed during the storm events. The suspended sediment is organic‐rich and thus its source may be associated with in‐channel organic decay between storm events. Understanding the coupled interactions between discharge magnitude and frequency and sediment resupply at the event time scale has important implications for stream restoration efforts seeking to connect the channel and the broader riparian zone, and for the development of accurate sediment budgets and predictions of sediment flux from a watershed.

    Abstract: Reported here are results from new flume experiments examining deposition and entrainment of inert, silt‐sized particles (with spherical diameters in the range from 20 to 60 μm) to and from planar, impermeable and initially starved beds underlying channel flows. Bed surfaces comprised smooth or fixed sand‐size granular roughness and provided hydraulically smooth to transitionally rough boundaries. Results of these experiments were analysed with a simple model that describes the evolution of vertically averaged concentration of suspended sediment and accommodates the simultaneous delivery to and entrainment of grains from the bed. The rate of particle arrival to a bed diminishes linearly, and the rate of particle entrainment increases by the 5/2 power, as the value of the dimensionless Saffman parameter S = u * 3 / g’ν approaches a threshold value of order unity, where u is the conventional friction velocity of the turbulent channel flow, g’ is the acceleration due to gravity adjusted for the submerged buoyancy of individual particles and ν is the kinematic viscosity of the transporting fluid. This transport behaviour is consistent with the notion that non‐cohesive, silt‐sized particles can neither reach nor remain on an impermeable bed under flow conditions where mean lift imposed on stationary particles in the viscous sublayer equals or exceeds the submerged weight of individual particles. Within the size range of particles used in these experiments, particle size and the characteristic size of granular roughness, up to that of medium sand, did not affect rates of dimensionless arrival or entrainment to a significant degree. Instead, a new but consistent picture of fine‐particle transport is emerging. Silt‐sized material, at least, is subject to potentially significant interaction with the bed during intermittent suspension transport at intermediate flow speeds greater than the value required for initiation of transport ( ca  20 cm sec −1 ) but less than the value ( ca  50 cm sec −1 ) required by the Saffman criterion ensuring transport in fully passive suspension or, equivalently, ‘wash‐load’.

    Abstract: We develop a model that describes the runout behavior and resulting deposit of a radially spreading, suspension‐driven gravity current on a surface of negligible slope. Our analysis considers the separate cases of constant‐volume and constant‐flux sources. It incorporates expressions for the conservation of volume, a Froude number condition at the current front, and the evolution of the driving suspension due to settling of particles to the underlying bed. The model captures the key features of a range of experimental observations. The analysis also provides important scaling relationships between the geometry of a deposit and the source conditions for the deposit‐forming flow, as well as explicit expressions for flow speed and deposit thickness as functions of radial distance from the source. Among the results of our study we find that, in the absence of information regarding flow history, the geometries of relatively well‐sorted deposits generated by flows with source conditions of constant volume or constant flux are virtually indistinguishable. The results of our analysis can be used by geologists in the interpretation of some geologically important gravity‐surge deposits. Using our analytical results, we consider three previously studied, radially symmetric turbidites of the Hispaniola‐Caicos basin in the western Atlantic Ocean. From gross geometry and grain size of the turbidites alone we estimate for the respective deposit‐forming events that upon entry into the basin the initial sediment concentrations were approximately 3% by volume and the total volumes were roughly between 30 km 3 and 100 km 3 . Each of the suspension‐driven flows is inferred to have spread into the basin with a characteristic speed of 3–5 m s −1 , and reached its ultimate runout length of about 60–75 km while laying down a deposit over a period of about 10–12 hours.
