“…In particular, coarsest particles may tend to separate from soil layers which adhered to an object [6,9,10]. In addition, the weight of the soil collected on the scene of crime is often too small for replicated analyses to be allowed [2].…”

“…Although standard procedures for wet sieving are acceptable for determining the GSD (e.g., [31]), the form of sieving (wet or dry) may influence the particle distribution [60,61]. To investigate how the drying process can influence the GSD, the weights of randomly chosen wet and dry bedloads not lower than 10 kg were compared ( Figure 6).…”

Abstract:The relationships among grain size distribution (GSD), water discharge, and GSD parameters are investigated to identify regularities in the evolution of two gravel-bed proglacial troughs: Fosa Creek and Siodło Creek. In addition, the potential application of certain parameters obtained from the GSD analysis for the assessment of the formation stage of both creeks is comprehensively discussed. To achieve these goals, River Bedload Traps (RBTs) were used to collect the bedload, and a sieving method for dry material was applied to obtain the GSDs. Statistical comparisons between both streams showed significant differences in flow velocity; however, the lack of significant differences in bedload transport clearly indicated that meteorological conditions are among the most important factors in the erosive process for this catchment. In particular, the instability of flow conditions during high water discharge resulted in an increase in the proportion of medium and coarse gravels. The poorly sorted fine and very fine gravels observed in Siodło Creek suggest that this trough is more susceptible to erosion and less stabilized than Fosa Creek. The results suggest that GSD analyses can be used to define the stage of development of riverbeds relative to that of other riverbeds in polar regions.
