文摘
Presents one of the few multi-decadal records of coarse (sand and gravel) export from a glaciated river basin. Increasing sediment transport capacity does not explain interannual variability in sediment export. This implies sediment supply is crucial. Connectivity develops in a glaciated basin in response to glacier recession. Fluvial reworking of glacial till may reduce sediment transport rates and so reduce sediment connectivity.
