River incision into bedrock drives the topographic evolution of mountainous terrain and may
link climate, tectonics, and topography over geologic time scales. Despite its importance, the …

This paper presents the state-of-the-art on methods to estimate rock scour due to the
impingement of plunging high velocity water jets. The following topics are addressed …

The mechanisms and behaviour of the scour process is a challenging subject, and one
which is expertly dealt with in this informative, illustrated volume. Specifically, this book …

Excess stress parameters, critical shear stress (τc) and erodibility coefficient (kd), for
degrading channels in the loess areas of the midwestern USA are presented based on in …

The assessment of the erodibility of soil materials is essential for analyzing and modeling rill,
gully, streambed, streambank, spillway, and embankment erosion. A submerged jet-testing …

Hydraulic erodibility of natural and engineered earth materials, including both soil and rock,
can be evaluated in terms of a rational correlation between rate of energy dissipation of …

The Roan Plateau in western Colorado constitutes a natural experiment for studying
landscape response to a drop in base level. Late Cenozoic incision of the upper Colorado …

Vegetation plays an important role in gully headcut erosion in China's Loess Plateau, but
little is known about the effects of root density on gully headcut erosion. This study attempted …

Research examining the hydraulics, morphology, and stability of step‐pool mountain
streams has blossomed in the last decade, resulting in more than a dozen dissertations …

In this study a different approach has been used to compute the practical equilibrium scour
process caused by both plunging and horizontal jets when no bed protection was present …
