title = "Spatial and temporal variations of suspended sediment concentrations from different floodplain environments",
abstract = "Overbank sedimentation occurs when flood waters exceed the bankfull capacity of the main channel, resulting in widespread inundation of the floodplain. Recent work has shown that bank elevations of main channels are often uneven, resulting in inundation of parts of the floodplain during events below the average bankfull stage. Despite dynamic changes in channel-floodplain connectivity as stage varies, few studies have examined how such changes influence spatial and temporal variability in suspended sediment concentrations of floodwaters within the floodplain environment. The objective of this study is to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of suspended sediment concentrations on the floodplain of a lowland meandering river during several different flood events of varying magnitudes. Suspended sediment samples are collected near and distal to the main channel using vertically stacked single-stage siphon samplers. Results show that SSCs vary both with depositional environment and with stage of flood waters on the floodplain.",
