Cover Story: With a decline in the number of operational river gauges monitoring sediments, a viable means of quantifying sediment transport is needed. In this study, we address this issue by applying relationships between hydraulic geometry of river channels, water discharge, water-leaving surface reflectance, and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) to quantify sediment discharge with the aid of space-based observations. We examined 5490 Landsat scenes to estimate water discharge, SSC, and sediment discharge for the period 1984–2017 at nine gauging sites along the Upper Mississippi River. The results show that the water discharge and SSC retrieval from Landsat imagery yield reasonable sediment discharge estimates for the Upper Mississippi River. View this paper
