The Earth's surface morphology, in an abiotic context, is a consequence of major forcings
such as tectonic uplift, erosion, sediment transport, and climate. Recently, however, it has …

Europe has experienced a series of major floods in the past years which suggests that flood
magnitudes may have increased. Land degradation due to soil compaction from crop …

In catchment hydrology, it is in practice impossible to measure everything we would like to
know about the hydrological system, mainly due to high catchment heterogeneity and the …

Human activities have profoundly changed the land on which we live. In particular, land use
and land management change affect the hydrology that determines flood hazard, water …

There is growing concern that the way that soils are used often results in their degradation,
giving rise to significant costs, both to direct users of soils and to society as a whole. This …
