Abstract
The studies reviewed in this field guide form part of an investigation of the processes governing channel stability and sedimentation in the lower Fraser River. A major task is to develop a long term sediment budget for the reach to aid port management below Port Mann. This report gives a review of the available sediment transport observations on the river, which are amongst the more comprehensive available for any river. These have been reconsidered in light of current developments in the analysis of sediment transport measurements. As a result, some aspects of prior analyses have been substantially revised.
