Modeling and Analysis of Sediment Trapping Efficiency of Large Dams Using Remote Sensing

Abstract Quantifying the role of sediment trapping by dams is important due to its control on fluvial and coastal geomorphology, aquatic ecology, water quality, and human water uses. Sediment trapping behind dams is a major source of bias in large‐scale hydrogeomorphic models, hindering robust analy...
