A universal approach for drainage basins [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
Drainage basins are essential to Geohydrology and Biodiversity. Defining those regions in a simple, robust and efficient way is a constant challenge in Earth Science. Here, we introduce a model to delineate multiple drainage basins through an extension of the Invasion Percolation-Based Algorithm (IPBA).

Geodiversity in the Amazon drainage basin. [PDF]

Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci
The Amazon is the largest drainage basin on Earth and contains a wide variety of abiotic landscape features. In spite of this, the geodiversity in this basin has not yet been objectively evaluated. We address this knowledge gap by combining a meta-analysis of an existing global geodiversity map and its components with a systematic literature review, to

Continuum Model for River Networks [PDF]

, 1995
The effects of erosion, avalanching and random precipitation are captured in a simple stochastic partial differential equation for modelling the evolution of river networks. Our model leads to a self-organized structured landscape and to abstraction and piracy of the smaller tributaries as the evolution proceeds.

Seasonal surface drainage of sloping farmland : a review of its hydrogeomorphic impacts [PDF]

, 2015
The combination of runoff-generating areas (saturated soils) and overland flow concentration in features such as drainage ditches makes sloping farmland vulnerable to soil erosion.

Drainage basins and channel incision on Mars [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
Measurements acquired by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on board the Mars Global Surveyor indicate that large drainage systems on Mars have geomorphic characteristics inconsistent with prolonged erosion by surface runoff. We find the topography has not evolved to an expected equilibrium terrain form, even in areas where runoff incision has been ...

Temporal and spatial variations in maximum river discharge from a new Russian data set [PDF]

, 2007
Floods cause more damage in Russia than any other natural disaster, and future climate model projections suggest that the frequency and magnitude of extreme hydrological events will increase in Russia with climate change.

Constructal view of scaling laws of river basins [PDF]

, 2006
River basins are examples of naturally organized flow architectures whose scaling properties have been noticed long ago. Based on data of geometric characteristics, Horton [Horton, R.E., 1932. Drainage basin characteristics. EOS Trans. AGU 13, 350–361.],

Isotopic characteristics of the Garonne River and its tributaries [PDF]

The Garonne is the largest river in the south-west of France, and its drainage basin stretches between the Pyrenees and the Massif Central mountains. Until now, no water stable isotope study has been performed on the whole Garonne river basin which is ...
