In the history of alluvium and colluvium, the definitions have been shifted and rearranged
several times, and this evolution is ongoing. Although field books, textbooks, and …

Mass Transport, Gravity Flows, and Bottom Currents: Downslope and Alongslope Processes
and Deposits focuses solely on important downslope and alongslope processes. The book …

Loess is commonly defined as an accumulation of windblown silt. However, the complex
mechanisms that are responsible for most of the structural characteristics of loess require a …

Palaeogeographic interpretation of the sedimentary rock record depends on correct
recognition from the preserved evidence of the processes responsible for transporting and …

Soil erosion by water, the wearing away of the earth's surface by the forces of water and
gravity, consists of particle dislodgement, entrainment, transport, and deposition. This …

On many more or less loamy soils, rill erosion is reported to start on slopes that are equal to
or steeper than 2–3°; critical Froude numbers for the start of rill wash on these slopes vary …

Few words in the realm of earth science have caused more debate than “loess”. It is a
common term that was first used as a name of a silt deposit before it was defined in a …

The role of soils has long been recognized as critical to rainfall–runoff processes in
watersheds. Hydropedology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates pedology …

During rainfall events, many physical processes occur simultaneously. Conceptual
frameworks for infiltration, runoff, surface sealing, sediment detachment, transport, and …

Subsurface water emerging either at a free face (such as a stream bank. gully bead, or cliff)
or along a valley floor or hillside has a potential for erosion if the outflow is sufficient to …
