## FingerPro

**FingerPro** is an R package that quantifies the provenance of sediments by applying a mixing model algorithm to end sediment mixtures based on a comprehensive characterization of the sediment sources. The fingerPro model builds upon the foundational concept of using mass balance linear equations for sediment source quantification by incorporating several distinct technical advancements.

FingerPro builds on more than 16 years of methodological advances in sediment mixing models, developed by the **EESA research group** (Erosion and Evaluation of Soil and Water) at the **Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)**, Experimental Station of Aula Dei (EEAD), Zaragoza, Spain.
