AIR AND WATER COMPONENTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2 Which role do the floods play in mobilizing suspended sediments? Which time scales are more appropriate to investigate the suspended sediment variability? Accounting for fine sediment sources in complex river basins Key aspects Flow variability plays an essential role in mobilizing and transporting sediments during floods Need for proxy methods to understand the processes controlling the fine sediment dynamics Water – Suspended sediment relationship Remote vs. close to sink alluvial sources Extensive volumes of materials are released during high water and flood periods
