Influence of Beach Slope on Morphological Changes and Sediment Transport under Irregular Waves

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
This paper presents new data from large-scale wave flume experiments. It shows the beach profile evolution and sediment transport for two different bed slopes (1:15 and 1:25), and three irregular high-energy erosive wave conditions and one low-energy ...

Water induced sediment levitation enhances downslope transport on Mars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
On Mars, locally warm surface temperatures (~293 K) occur, leading to the possibility of (transient) liquid water on the surface. However, water exposed to the martian atmosphere will boil, and the sediment transport capacity of such unstable water is ...

Development of the Gravel Pressure and Voice Synchronous Observation System and Application in Bedload Transport Measurement

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Bedload sediment transport is critical in the natural river environmental and ecological system. It is quite challenging to measure the bedload sediment transport rate in rivers with any degree of accuracy. In this study, the authors developed the Gravel

Soil carbon and nitrogen erosion in forested catchments: Implications for erosion-induced terrestrial carbon sequestration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Lateral movement of organic matter (OM) due to erosion is now considered an important flux term in terrestrial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) budgets, yet most published studies on the role of erosion focus on agricultural or grassland ecosystems.

Modeling the spatially distributed nature of subglacial sediment transport and erosion [PDF]

open access: yesEarth Surface Dynamics, 2023
Glaciers expel sediment as they melt, in addition to ice and water. As a result, changing glacier dynamics and melt produce changes to glacier erosion and sediment discharge, which can impact the landscape surrounding retreating glaciers, as well as ...

Observations in a sediment-laden flow by use of laser-doppler velocimetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
The laser-Doppler velocimetry technique was adapted for use in sediment-laden flows. The developed instrumentation was used to make one-dimensional, instantaneous measurements of both fluid and sediment grain velocities throughout the water column in ...

Use of rare earth oxides as tracers to identify sediment source areas for agricultural hillslopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Understanding sediment sources is essential to enable more effective targeting of in-field mitigation approaches to reduce diffuse pollution from agricultural land.

Mass wasting triggered by seasonal CO2 sublimation under Martian atmospheric conditions: Laboratory experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sublimation is a recognized process by which planetary landscapes can be modified. However, interpretation of whether sublimation is involved in downslope movements on Mars and other bodies is restricted by a lack of empirical data to constrain this ...

Impacts of tidal flat reclamation on suspended sediment dynamics in the tidal-dominated Wenzhou Coast, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Reclamation of tidal flats is one of the engineering measures of expanding land area and developing the economy in coastal areas; however, this process disturbs the natural processes of the tidal flat system.
