Glacial and gully erosion on Mars: A terrestrial perspective

Gully Formation on Mars and Earth: the Transition from Glacial Activity to Gully Depositional Phases

Introduction: The discovery of gullies on Mars [1,2] resulted in a wide variety of proposed candidate mechanisms for formation but ensuing analyses have shown very strong latitude and orientation dependencies on their distributions [3-6]. These constraints have been interpreted to require: 1) a volatile on or near the surface as a source of liquid water, and 2) insolation and slope orientation ...

Accuracy Assessment of Gully Erosion Susceptibility Map Using SVM and MARS Methods in Shazand Watershed

Gully erosion found to be typical erosion form in semiarid and arid landscape. Because of the importance of this phenomenon, various studies have been conducted around the world to assess gully erosion and its effects. The purpose of this research was accuracy assessment of gully erosion susceptibility maps using SVM and MARS models in the Shazand watershed. Acquiring information about the gull...

Gully Erosion after Wildfire

Predicting runoff and erosion from watersheds burned by wildfires requires an understanding of the spatial structure of both hillslope and channel drainage networks. We investigate the small-scale and large-scale structures of drainage networks using field studies and computer analysis of 30-m digital elevation model. Topologic variables were derived from a composite 30-m DEM, which included 14...

The Gully Erosion Effect On the Environment

The paper contains data about the destructive effects of gully erosion on the environment. It provides general information about the gully erosion in several countries around the world including Romania and is considered a case study for a river basin located in the Semenic Mountains (Bârzava drainage area). The case study is based on the following assumptions: the presence of different types o...
