چکیده
Environmental 137Cs adsorbed on fine sediments has many uses as a tracer in erosion and sedimentation studies. The determination of sedimentation rates in lakes and reservoirs using 137Cs as a geochronological marker is described in detail. From a survey of literature sources it is shown that 137Cs levels in soils and sediments can be a powerful tool for the identification and quantification of soil erosion processes in catchment. It is suggested that Cs studies can be profitably applied by developing countries whose limited soil resources are at high risk.

Calibration method of numerical models in coastal sediment studies of Kuhmobarak area
Abstract Application of numerical models is useful in coastal sediment studies; however, it is essential to calibrate the models in an appropriate method. Empirical equations, historical satellite imagery and other coastal data and evidence are proposed for the models calibration in the vicinity of coastal indicators around the site of projects. In this study, coastal sediment process of K...

Abstract The forest road is most important sediment sours in the forest regions. the forest roads with remove vegetation cover and disorder hydraulic behavior regions, causes sediment product and problems due of sediment. This study has been done to surveying sediment factors roll in the sediment producing in the northern forest road. For this goal were selected purpose road sections by using h...
متن کاملAn Investigation on Selecting Cartographic Scales on Sediment Delivery Ratio in Jamash Watershed
Multicipality inputs of different analysis of digital data in modern methods of map processing causes the changes in results of erosion and sediment models. In this context, selecting a cartographic scale as the major input of spatial data has become a challenge issue in erosion and sediment modeling. Therefore, in this study, using topographic maps and selecting to spatial scales (1:25000 and ...

In this article, sediment processes and shoreline changes at Lengeh and Kong ports coastline are investigated. Comprehensive studies on effective parameters on sediment processes have been performed and coastal sediment transport rate in the area is estimated. For this purpose a conceptual model has been envisaged and the empirical and numerical models, calibrated and validated based on the con...
متن کاملReview of 15 Years of Research on Sediment Heavy Metal Contents and Sediment Nutrient Release in Inland Aquatic Ecosystems, Turkey
Turkey’s inland water ecosystem consists of 33 rivers (177.714 miles), 200 natural lakes (906.118 ha), 159 reservoirs (342.377 ha) and 750 ponds (15.500 ha). Sedimentological studies conducted on inland water ecosystems during the last 15 years in Turkey can be categorized into two main topics. The first group of studies is concerned with heavy metal levels in sediment, with especial reference ...
