UCHIYAMA, Y., 2007. Hydrodynamics and associated morphological variations on an estuarine intertidal sand flat. Journal of Coastal Research, 23(4), 1015–1027. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Hydrodynamics, sediment suspension, and morphological response on an estuarine intertidal sand flat in Tokyo Bay, Japan, are examined through a field experiment performed for 16 days in winter 20...

in order to recognize the wind erosion situation of a region, the survey of its windiness is not sufficient and the physical characteristics of earth are of importance too. in fact, the outbreak of dust storms in a region is due to the sensitivity of earth and domination of wind in that region. in this investigation we have tried to find a way for determining the regions in which a dust storm i...

Undoubtedly, land degradation linked to desertification causes a decrease in qualitative and quantitative features of natural resources. This research aimed to assess land desertification by local residents and their role in controlling desertification in Isfahan province, Iran in 2016. The criteria were soil climate, vegetation, erosion, and demography. The indicators of soil texture, stone fr...

Ice stratigraphy from deep-penetrating radar data collected during the 2002 US International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (US-ITASE) traverse shows evidence of a significant erosion surface and drift-filled basin related to a previously undiscovered 1400m subglacial mountain between Hercules Dome (878420 S, 1088W) and South Pole. The 3MHz radar profile crosses three subglacial mountain...

Soil carbon stores amount to 54% of the terrestrial carbon pool and twice the atmospheric carbon pool, but soil organic carbon (SOC) can be transient. There is an ongoing debate about whether soils are a net source or sink of carbon, and understanding the role of aeolian processes in SOC erosion, transport and deposition is rudimentary. The impacts of SOC erosion by wind on the global carbon bu...

Although many different erosion processes affect the coastal area of South Iran, wind caused erosion, considered a restrictive factor in human activities, makes one of the more common landscapes of the coastal strip. Therefore the recognition of wind caused erosion and its result is inevitable to conduct an effective coastal management. This study discusses the littoral geomorphologic shape of ...

the wepp physically model is able to dynamically simulate runoff and soil erosion using physical concepts of erosion and hydraulic of overland flow science considering plant growth, residue decomposition, winter process. determination of the capability of this model in runoff and erosion estimation in different range type with investigation the effects of management were the main objectives of ...

Soil degradation is one of the most serious ecological problems in the world. In arid and semi-arid northern China, soil degradation predominantly arises from wind erosion. Trends in soil degradation caused by wind erosion in northern China frequently change with human activities and climatic change. To decrease soil loss by wind erosion and enhance local ecosystems, the Chinese government has ...
