The mineralogical and geochemical compositions of the sediments deposited by rivers have been used extensively to evaluate past chemical weathering and the physical erosion history of drainage basins at different time scales.

Influence of chemical denudation on hillslope morphology [PDF]
[1] Models of hillslope evolution involving diffusion-like sediment transport are conventionally presented as an equation in which the changes in land-surface elevation or soil thickness are balanced by the divergence of soil transport and tectonic ...

Reservoir theory for studying the geochemical evolution of soils [PDF]
Linking mineral weathering rates measured in the laboratory to those measured at the landscape scale is problematic. In laboratory studies, collections of minerals are exposed to the same weathering environment over a fixed amount of time.

Chemical weathering in hardened volcanic horizons (tepetates) of the State of Mexico
Weathering is one of the most important phenomena that affect the balance dynamics of the Earth's crust. The chemical composition of soil samples and hardened horizons from seven profiles (P1 to P7) of the State of Mexico was compared to detect the ...

Modelling weathering processes at the catchment scale: The WITCH numerical model [PDF]
A numerical model of chemical weathering in soil horizons and underlying bedrock (WITCH) has been coupled to a numerical model of water and carbon cycles in forest ecosystems (ASPECTS) to simulate the concentration of major species within the soil ...

Strontium as a tracer of weathering processes in a silicate catchment polluted by acid atmospheric inputs, Strengbach, France [PDF]
This paper determines the weathering and atmospheric contributions of Ca in surface water from a small spruce forested silicate catchment (N–E France) receiving acid atmospheric inputs.

Applications of stable water and carbon isotopes in watershed research: Weathering, carbon cycling, and water balances [PDF]
Research on rivers has traditionally involved concentration and flux measurements to better understand weathering, transport and cycling of materials from land to ocean.

Modelling of slope processes on karst
The present paper is concerned with the modelling of the karst slope processes. A simple straightforward one dimensional physical model is introduced in order to assess basic behaviour of the slope development.

Despite the absence of tectonic activity, cratonic environments are characterized by strongly variable, and in places significant, rock weathering rates. This is shown here through an exploration of the weathering rates in two inter-tropical river basins
