This study investigates the role of mechanical layering and fractures on flood-related erosional undercutting resulting rapid spillway recession. In summer 2002, 86 cm rain fell in an 8-day period across Guadalupe River drainage basin central Texas, causing Canyon Lake reservoir to completely fill overtop emergency for first time. The flood incised a gorge into mechanically layered Glen Rose Fo...

the modeling can provide a quantitative approach and consistency in the estimationsoil erosion and sediment yield by a wide range of conditions. in this study, the integration method of revised universal soil loss equation model, geographic information system and remote sensing techniques were used in order to identify the spatial distribution of soil erosion and sediment yield in the talar wat...

This work aims to verify the effects of natural structure a residual soil on its erodibility and potential, employing compaction, restore erosion resistance. It is gneiss that occurs in state Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil. Infrastructure earthworks expose this material action water, which can develop severe erosive features. The evaluation was made using MCT methodology based infiltrability m...

Bedrock erodibility exerts a fundamental control on fluvial incision, and therefore the evolution of entire landscapes. However, roles relative significance specific bedrock properties like rock strength discontinuity spacing in setting remain poorly understood. As result, is often overlooked or oversimplified numerical field-based investigations landscape processes, leading to misinterpretatio...

Soil erosion in vineyards has to be considered as an environmental concern as it depletes soil fertility and produces damages in the fields and downstream. High soil and water losses decrease soil quality, and subsequently, can reduce the quality of the grapes and wine. However, in specialized journals of viticulture and enology, soil erosion studies are not present. This paper surveys the soil...

the present study was carried out to determine the possible origins of sediments entering taleghan dam in northern part of iran, in order to avoid further sedimentation and helping in extension of the useful life of the proposed dam. this was performed by xrd analysis. to do so, first of all, sediment sampling points were positioned along the taleghan river. the collected samples, after coding,...
