This study provides an initial assessment of suspended sediment transport in three rivers on the Alaska North Slope. From 2011 to 2013, the Anaktuvuk (69°27′51.00′′ N, 151°10′07.00′′ W), Chandler (69°17′0.30′′ N, 151°24′16.14′′ W), and Itkillik (68°51′59.46′′ N, 150°2′24.00′′ W) Rivers were monitore...
