Quantifying sediment generation in humid tropical regions using cosmogenic nuclides – A proof of method

Cosmogenic nuclides have been used successfully to quantify long-term rates of sediment generation in arid lands. However, cosmogenic nuclides have been applied outside of arid environments in only a few locations. We have collected 37 samples from the tropical, humid Rio Chagres watershed in Panama as a methodological test. Since the headwaters of the Rio Chagres watershed are remote, and rela...

Modeling Past Episodes of Erosion in the Lake Orūmiye (Urmia) Basin: Analogues for Future Landscape Dynamics

During the Holocene Lake Orūmiye has been subjected to significant changes in climate. These have impacted the surround vegetation and runoff, and erosion rates of the surrounding basin. Shifts in seasonal rainfall from winter to summer dominated patterns have resulted in dramatic changes in the Orūmiye Basin’s vegetation cover from grass to shrub dominated communities. The degree of ground sur...

The control mechanisms of erosion and weathering at basin scale from cosmogenic nuclides in river sediment

The study of a sample of river sediment enables the determination of spatially averaged denudation rates that provide an exceptional perspective on erosion and weathering processes that have taken place within a landscape. These measurements are done with in-situ produced cosmogenic nuclides (e.g. Be, Al), mostly in quartz from alluvial sediment. Cosmogenic nuclides are produced when secondary ...

Recent Trends in Precipitation and Streamflow in the Rio Puerco Basin

River systems in semiarid regions are susceptible to rapid and dramatic channel erosion and arroyo formation. Climate plays an important role in arroyo development through changes in precipitation intensity, seasonality, and variability. Here, trends in precipitation and streamflow at the annual, monthly, and daily timescales for the last 50 yr are analyzed for the Rio Puerco Basin in northwest...

Estimation of erosion and sediment yield of Ekbatan Dam drainage basin with EPM, using GIS

Soil conservation and control of erosion is a basic problem in all countries. The goal of this research is to estimate erosion and sediment yield in Ekbatan Dam drainage basin by Erosion Potential Method (EPM), using Geographic Information System (GIS). The basin is located in Hamedan Province, west of Iran, in a cold and semi- arid region, with an average annual rainfall of 334mm. The study ar...
