Estimating sand bed load in rivers by tracking dunes: a comparison of methods based on bed elevation time series

<p>Quantifying bed-load transport is paramount to the effective management of rivers with sand or gravel-dominated bed material. However, a practical and scalable field methodology for reliably estimating bed load remains elusive. A popular approach involves calculating transport from the geom...
