Erosion and Weathering Processes in the Delaware River Basin
Total suspended sediments and the total dissolved solids (TDS) from three river gaging stations, near Delaware Water Gap, Riegelsville and Trenton on the Delaware River measured by the USGS were used to estimate the physical erosion, chemical weathering and total denudation rates of the Delaware River Basin. The denudation rates are 28 and 128 tons/km 2 /yr for the upper stream and downstream s...
متن کاملSilicate rock weathering and atmospheric/soil CO2 uptake in the Amazon basin estimated from river water geochemistry:
Using the data of the CAMREX project (1982–1984) on the water geochemistry of the Amazon river and its main tributaries, it was possible to assess the silicate rock weathering processes and the associated consumption of atmospheric/soil CO2, taking into account seasonal and spatial variations. This study confirms the important role of the Andes in the fluvial transport of dissolved and particul...
متن کاملWeathering in the Subtropical Enoree River Basin, South Carolina, Usa
The effect of watershed spatial scale on chemical weathering is inadequately known for subtropical environments. In order to determine the relationship between watershed scale and weathering chemistry, the Enoree River basin was sampled at seven different spatial scales ranging from second-order watersheds smaller than 2 km^2 to a sixth order watershed of 1840 km^2. The second-order watersheds ...
متن کاملStudy of sedimentological characteristics and Chemical Index of Alteration in the Aeolian sediments
Coastal and inland dune sands in desert environments are compositionally and texturally controlled by physical and chemical processes such as the wind action, marine/fluvial processes, weathering, air temperature and precipitation. The objectives of this research are study of sedimentological characteristics, calculation of CIA in the Aeolian sediments and classification of sand dunes in the Ya...
متن کاملHow do nitrogen inputs to the Changjiang basin impact the Changjiang River nitrate: A temporal analysis for 1968–1997
[1] We present estimates of nitrogen (N) inputs to the Changjiang River basin for the period 1968–1997. The total N input is approximately 7.8 10 kg in 1997, which is a threefold increase over 1968 levels. N fixation was often a dominant input before 1978, providing about 2.2 10 kg year , while N fertilizer dominated N input after 1983, supplying an additional input of some 4.4 10 kg year . Mor...
