Erosion patterns in a sediment layer [PDF]
We report here on a laboratory-scale experiment which reproduces a rich variety of natural patterns with few control parameters. In particular, we focus on intriguing rhomboid structures often found on sandy shores and flats.

A review of erosion and sediment transport models
Abstract Information on sediment and nutrient export from catchments and about related erosive processes is required by catchment managers and decision-makers. Many models exist for the consideration of these processes. However, these models differ greatly in terms of their complexity, their inputs and requirements, the processes they represent and ...

The effect of slope steepness and antecedent moisture content on interrill erosion, runoff and sediment size distribution in the highlands of Ethiopia [PDF]
Soil erosion is a two-phase process consisting of the detachment of individual particles and their transport by the flowing water. This study discusses the results of laboratory experiments in which for three soils, the runoff depth, sediment yield ...

Numerical Simulation of Slope–Gully–Stream Sediment Transport Process with Water and Gravity Erosion
Soil erosion has become a global problem with serious consequences. It is the source of sediment in rivers, and the subsequent sediment transport is important.

Modelling impacts of spatially variable erosion drivers on suspended sediment dynamics [PDF]
Suspended sediment load in rivers is highly uncertain because sediment production and transport at catchment scale are strongly variable in space and time, and they are affected by catchment hydrology, topography, and land cover.

Determination of Soil Erosion and Sediment Estimation of Khorkhoreh Basin using Sediment Rating Curve [PDF]
In order to plan and recognize the destructive condition of the watershed, it is indispensable to know the extent of erosion and sedimentation produced from each basin. In this study, the soil erosion and sediment estimation of the Khorkhoreh basin using

Geologic Controls on Erosion Mechanism on the Alaska Beaufort Coast
Two prominent arctic coastal erosion mechanisms affect the coastal bluffs along the North Slope of Alaska. These include the niche erosion/block collapse mechanism and the bluff face thaw/slump mechanism.
