Prediction of sediment transport capacity based on slope gradients and flow discharge. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Sediment transport capacity (Tc) is an essential parameter in the establishment of the slope soil erosion model. Slope type is an important crucial factor affecting sediment transport capacity of overland flow, and vegetation can effectively inhibit soil

Sediment transport drives tidewater glacier periodicity. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2017 Most of Earth’s glaciers are retreating, but some tidewater glaciers are advancing despite increasing temperatures and contrary to their neighbors. This can be explained by the coupling of ice and sediment dynamics: a shoal forms at the glacier terminus,

Erosion and Sediment Transport Modelling in Shallow Waters: A Review on Approaches, Models and Applications. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2018 The erosion and sediment transport processes in shallow waters, which are discussed in this paper, begin when water droplets hit the soil surface. The transport mechanism caused by the consequent rainfall-runoff process determines the amount of generated

Season, wind speed, and seasonal rain are major drivers of a regional aeolian sediment transport model. [PDF]
PLoS ONEWind erosion and sediment transport continue to increase in many parts of the world, leading to decreased soil quality, accelerated snow-melt, respiratory diseases, and traffic accidents.

Sediment transport capacity of concentrated flows on steep loessial slope with erodible beds [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Previous research on sediment transport capacity has been inadequate and incomplete in describing the detachment and transport process of concentrated flows on slope farmlands during rill development.

Erosion and Sediment Transport Modeling: A Systematic Review
Land, 2023 Soil erosion and sediment transport have significant consequences, including decreased agricultural production, water quality degradation, and modification to stream channels. Understanding these processes and their interactions with contributing factors

Assessment of plot-scale sediment transport on young moraines in the Swiss Alps using a fluorescent sand tracer [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Glacial retreat uncovers large bodies of unconsolidated sediment that are prone to erosion. However, our knowledge of overland flow (OF) generation and sediment transport on moraines that have recently become ice-free is still limited. To investigate how

The Physics of Sediment Transport Initiation, Cessation, and Entrainment Across Aeolian and Fluvial Environments [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2020 Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment transport, is the flow strong enough to sustain sediment transport once ...

Sediment transport mechanics [PDF]
Acta Geophysica, 2012 The Editor of Acta Geophysica and the Guest Editors wish to dedicate this Topical Issue on Sediment Transport Mechanics to the memory of Stephen Coleman, who died recently. During his career, Stephen had made an outstanding scientific contribution to the topic of Sediment Transport.
