Land-cover change from forest to agriculture is widely recognized as a primary cause of accelerated soil erosion. Floodplains in agricultural watersheds represent fluvial archives for understanding ...

THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE: The changing scene -- Geomorphology and the field problem -- PROCESS AND FORM: Climate and denudational processes -- Weathering -- The drainage basin as a geomorphic unit -- ...

“The specific sediment yield in catchments with high glacial cover is on average an order of magnitude higher than glacier-free basins, and appears overall higher in Asia’s glacierized catchments than ...

In the context of phenomena, fluvial refers to processes and dynamics associated with the action of running water in rivers and streams, including erosion, sediment transport, and deposition. Fluvial ...

Many high-mountain rivers in Asia transport more sediment downstream compared to a few years ago. Changes in sediment levels have a particularly strong impact on agriculture, water quality, flood ...
