Abstract

Suspended sediments are thought to be an important transport mechanism for toxic trace metals that have been identified in the Clark Fork. Hydrologic data from a network of water-quality stations combined with data simulation will be used to calculate suspended-sediment and trace-metals transport. An ultimate goal of such an investigation might be the development of a predictive model.

A Method for Determining Suspended-Sediment and Trace-Metals Transpiration in the Clark Fork River, Western Montana

Suspended sediments are thought to be an important transport mechanism for toxic trace metals that have been identified in the Clark Fork. Hydrologic data from a network of water-quality stations combined with data simulation will be used to calculate suspended-sediment and trace-metals transport. An ultimate goal of such an investigation might be the development of a predictive model.
