Short summary
We assess particle transport and storage patterns through channel confluences in mountainous headwater streams. Using passive sediment tracers, we note the location of efficient transport corridors in confluences and compare dispersion against a non-confluence control reach. We suggest that certain confluence types may represent locations of enhanced sediment transport in river networks and encourage further investigation.
