Characterizing sediment sources by non-negative matrix factorization of detrital geochronological data

This paper explores an inverse approach to the problem of characterizing sediment sources' (“source” samples) age distributions based on samples from a particular depocenter (“sink” samples) using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). It also outlines a method to determine the optimal number...
