• Emergence of a continuous description of sediment transport using the transport length model and the erosion-deposition framework • Unified theory of sediment transport encompassing the diversity of transport modes 10 such as bed load and suspended load 11 • Model applicable to both non-stationary and stationary regimes while showing that 12 transport in suspension is likely never at capacity
