Tillage erosion is a potential contributor to the total soil erosion occurring within cultivated fields. No study has been carried out on tillage erosion associated with cereal-based production systems, which are the predominant form of crop production in the Canadian Prairies. Previous tillage translocation studies have focused on primary tillage implements (i.e. mouldboard and chisel ploughs)...

The common approach to modeling geographic phenomena is based in the objectoriented paradigm. A paradigm that is argued here to be inappropriate and even unable to capture the spatio-temporal essence of the “things” we model. These phenomena include migration, erosion, urban sprawl, percolation, and development, which form the basis of a geographer’s education in processes as opposed to objects...

Recent techniques in the management of surface river water have been expanding the demand on the method that can provide more representative of multivariate data set. A proper technique of the architecture of artificial neural network (ANN) model and multiple linear regression (MLR) provides an advance tool for surface water modeling and forecasting. The development of receptor model was applie...

[1] We have used new compositional information on Martian basaltic rocks from the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit and data from new stereo imaging by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on the Mars Express orbiter to constrain an existing analyticalnumerical computer model to assess the potential of Martian lavas to form lava channels by erosion of substrate. The basaltic rocks studied in Gu...

We present a new real-time hydraulic erosion simulation for Computer Graphics. In our system water runs over the surface and disintegrates the underlying layer of soil. The grit is simulated as a fluid with higher viscosity and moves on the ground of the water pool. When water evaporates, or the dissolved soil exceeds a critical level, the dissolved matter is deposited back on the ground for ac...

Many biogeochemical and Earth surface processes depend critically on chemical weathering. The immediate products of chemical weathering are present as solutes and secondary minerals in groundwater, soils, and streams, and form the nutritional foundation for terrestrial biogeochemistry. Chemical weathering also contributes to physical erosion by weakening bedrock and producing easily erodible re...
