RAINFALL AGGRESSIVENESS EVALUATION IN REGHIN HILLS USING FOURNIER INDEX [PDF]
Riscuri şi Catastrofe, 2016 Aggressiveness erosive force of rainfall is the express of kinetic energy and potential energy of rain water runoff on slopes. In the absence of a database for the analysis of parameters that define the torrencial rainfall, the rainfall erosivity factor ...

Update of the erosive rain factor in Slovakia using data from the period 1961–2009
Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2019 An update of the rainfall erosivity factor (R-factor) estimated for 95 locations throughout the entire territory of Slovakia is presented in this paper. We analyzed rainfall time series with 1-minute resolution provided by the Slovak Hydrometeorological ...

Impact of Rainfall Microstructure on Erosivity and Splash Soil Erosion Under Simulated Rainfall
, 2011 Rainfall represents the major driver of soil detachment in erosion processes. The potential of rainfall to detach soil has been defined as rainfall erosivity. The relationship between rainfall intensity and rainfall drop size distribution (DSD) controls various rainfall characteristics including the rainfall erosivity (Abd Elbasit et al., 2010).

Sediment Management for Southern California Mountians, Coastal Plains and Shoreline. Part D: Special Inland Studies [PDF]
, 1982 In southern California the natural environmental system involves the continual relocation of sedimentary materials. Particles are eroded from inland areas where there is sufficient relief and, precipitation.

Identifying erosive periods by using RUSLE factors in mountain fields of the Central Spanish Pyrenees [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2008 The Mediterranean environment is characterized by strong temporal variations in rainfall volume and intensity, soil moisture and vegetation cover along the year. These factors play a key role on soil erosion. The aim of this work is to identify different

Economics of soil and water conservation [PDF]
, 2003 The Ethiopian highlands, inhabited by the vast majority of the Ethiopian human and livestock populations, are under continuous threat from soil erosion. Land degradation induced by soil erosion is considered to be among the major factors responsible for ...

Habitable Snowballs: Temperate Land Conditions, Liquid Water, and Implications for CO$_2$ Weathering
, 2019 Habitable planets are commonly imagined to be temperate planets like Earth, with areas of open ocean and warm land. In contrast, planets in snowball states, where oceans are entirely ice-covered, are believed to be inhospitable.

Zoning of erosion potential of water accumulated in snow cover based on climatological data analysis
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2009 Melting of snow in winter and early spring often causes soil erosion. The results of erosion studies show that the runoff generated in the cold period can cause more intensive erosion than in the warm half year.
