Understanding sediment connectivity from soil erosion perspective
Sediment connectivity is closely related to geomorphology, topography, ecological hydrology, soil erosion, nutrient and pollutant movement, and water quality conservation. As one of the hot topics in soil erosion research during the past decade, sediment

Modeling Sediment Transport and Assessing Erosion and Sedimentation Status in the HARAZ River Watershed based on the Ecosystem Services Concept. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Effective river basin management requires understanding sediment transport dynamics and their impact on ecosystem services to mitigate soil erosion and sedimentation. This study emphasizes the novel integration of the ecosystem

Landscape connectivity and sediment regulation ecosystem services in a semi-arid Mediterranean watershed: Insights from the Nfifikh basin (Morocco) using the InVEST SDR model [PDF]
Soil erosion and sediment transport represent major environmental challenges in semi-arid Mediterranean watersheds, where high erosion rates do not necessarily translate into high sediment delivery to river systems.

Evaluating the importance of surface soil contributions to reservoir sediment in alpine environments: a combined modelling and fingerprinting approach in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park [PDF]
Soil in alpine environments plays a key role in the development of ecosystem services and in order to maintain and preserve this important resource, information is required on processes that lead to soil erosion.

A Comprehensive Review on Investigation of Sediment Erosion of Pelton Wheel Turbine
Hydro turbines installed at different hydropower plants face the issue of sediment erosion. Sediment erosion is an ambiguous phenomenon influenced by several parameters, including silt concentration, size, jet velocity, diameter, and fluid viscosity ...

Erosion and Sedimentation [PDF]
According to legend, a conversation that took place more than 70 years ago between Albert Einstein and his eldest son, Hans Albert Einstein, gives rise to the favorite anecdote of every scientist or engineer working in the field of sediment transport. During this conversation, Hans told his father of his intent to carry out research on the mechanics of

Graffiti for science – erosion painting reveals spatially variable erosivity of sediment-laden flows [PDF]
Spatially distributed detection of bedrock erosion is a long-standing challenge. Here we show how the spatial distribution of surface erosion can be visualized and analysed by observing the erosion of paint from natural bedrock surfaces.
