A comparative study of stream sediments in central Norway collected a quarter of a century apart: assessing anthropogenic impact

Stream sediments do not only provide an integrated signal of geochemical processes and erosional regimes occurring in drainage basins (Galy and France-Lanord, 2001; Vance et al., 2003) but they also provide a tracer for human influences (Walling, 1999). A comparative study of stream sediments fr...
