TL;DR: The authors examines how anthropogenic activity has caused significant changes in the quantity and quality of fine-grained sediment within river systems, using examples of: land use change in New Zealand; the effects of reservoir construction and management in different countries; the interaction between sediment dynamics and fish habitats in British Columbia, Canada; and the management of contaminated sediment in USA rivers.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of the sediment budget for the Waipaoa catchment, North Island, New Zealand, included evaluation of long-term rates of landsliding for six landslide-prone land systems in the catchment.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of vegetation cover on sediment production and the channel response was investigated in the Southern French Prealps and New Zealand, and the results demonstrated the strong effect that vegetation cover has on hillslope erosion processes, through its impact on the landsliding threshold and the total sediment yield.

TL;DR: A short-term sediment budget was constructed to assess the erosion response of a soft-rock hill country watershed to an intense rainstorm event in New Zealand, known as Cyclone Bola as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, Wrenz et al. used an empirical, raster-type GIS model for predicting suspended sediment yield from any river in New Zealand, which is mostly based on suspended sediment gaugings and flow records, but includes data from lake and fiord bed sedimentation studies.
