Source Areas, Drainage Density, and Channel Initiation
An analysis of channel head locations provides insight into controls on drainage density, the response of landscapes to climatic change, and the delineation of source areas for channel network simulations. Channel heads and colluvial deposits were mapped in a roughly 2 km 2 area near San Francisco, California, and, although channel heads are located within colluvial deposits in hollows, many su...
متن کاملJoint Source/Channel Coding with Low Density Parity Check Matrices
The objectives of this paper are two-fold, first to present the problem of joint source and channel coding from a graphical model perspective and second to propose a structure that uses a new graphical model for jointly encoding and decoding of a redundant source. In the first part of the paper, relevant contributions to joint source and channel coding, ranging from the Slepian-Wolf problem to ...
متن کاملDrainage basins and channel incision on Mars.
Measurements acquired by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on board the Mars Global Surveyor indicate that large drainage systems on Mars have geomorphic characteristics inconsistent with prolonged erosion by surface runoff. We find the topography has not evolved to an expected equilibrium terrain form, even in areas where runoff incision has been previously interpreted. By analogy with terrestr...
متن کاملHillslope Processes, Drainage Density, and Landscape Morphology
Catchment morphology and drainage density are strongly influenced by hillslope processes. The consequences of several different hillslope process laws are explored in a series of experiments with a numerical model of drainage basin evolution. Five different models are considered , including a simple diffusive-advective process transition, a runoff-generation threshold, an erosion threshold, and...

and Agriculture (NIFA) and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) to evaluate the effects of agricultural conservation practices on spatial patterns and trends in water quality at the watershed scale. In some projects, participants also investigated how social and economic factors influence implementation and maintenance of practices. The 13 projects were conducted from 2004 to 2011 as pa...
