Three phenomena are involved in sand movement: erosion, wind transport, and sedimentation. This paper presents a comprehensive easy-to-use multiphase model that include all three aspects with a particular attention to situations in which erosion due to wind shear and sedimentation due to gravity are not in equilibrium. The interest is related to the fact that these are the situations leading to...

investigation and preparing of wind erosion intensity maps are the main objectives of this research. in this research, the working unit map was prepared and then nine effective factors in wind erosion according to irifr.e.a model are determined at each of seven homogeneous units. according to the results, active sand dunes and landuse change showed the highest value with the rate of annual sedi...

Around the globe, and in a variety of settings including active and inactive mountain belts, increases in sedimentation rates as well as in grain sizes of sediments were recorded at ,2±4 Myr ago, implying increased erosion rates. A change in climate represents the only process that is globally synchronous and can potentially account for the widespread increase in erosion and sedimentation, but ...

soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in vazroud watershed, which is located in the centre of the mazandaran province, iran. unfortunately, vazroud watershed like most iran watersheds don’t have recorded data and erosion and sedimentation gages to research, monitor and model soil erosion at large watershed. in order to assess the soil erosion risk, soil erosion modeling at the watersh...

in iran due to the lack of long experience in the implementation of soil conservation and watershed management plans, these measures have not been evaluated quantitatively and specific methods for this purpose have not been provided. in this research effort is to investigate the effect of watershed management operations performed in can basin in 1379, on the amount of erosion and sedimentation ...

Grupi and Kashkan marl formations comprise a considerable part of Zagros region. These formations have a considerable erodibility and sedimentation potential because of their special geological and mineralogical characteristics. The objective of this study was to compare the erosion and sediment yield of Kashkan and Grupi formations in Merk watershed located in southeast Kermanshah, using the M...
