Geochemical and modelling data identify sediment sources in the Fitzroy River coastal zone. The study uses Bayesian statistical modelling to reveal changes in catchment sediment sources over the Holocene. Data were aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Modeling changes in sediment source contributions over time based on Bayesian statistical analysis
- Assessing the impact of land use changes and catchment clearing on coastal sediment loads
- Analyzing the relationship between rainfall event intensity and sediment delivery to the coastal zone
- Studying the enrichment and transport of basaltic soils in freshwater flood plumes
Strengths
- Integrated geochemical and modelling approach for source identification
- Analysis of temporal changes in sediment sources spanning the Holocene
- Quantified enrichment of basaltic material (ca. 3 relative to catchment abundances)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Freshness should be verified despite a future last updated date of 2026-06-23
