Introduction: The latitude-dependent distribution [1-4] and non-uniform orientation [5-9] of gullies on Mars indicate that their formation is controlled by climate conditions at the surface within the last million years [10-11], while their global distribution [2,4] and morphology [12-13] show direct correlations with the ice-rich Latitude Dependent Mantle (LDM), a potential source for melting....

The most intensified form of soil erosion is the gully which an extreme figure land degradation in India, and alongside signifies instability fragile landscape. present study encompasses lateritic interfluve badlands Dwarka – Brahmani River Basin (eastern India). geomorphic research reveals a variable range annual rates (8.12–24.01 kg m?2 y?1) at watershed scale (i.e., three catchments permanen...

Thermal contraction crack polygons modify the generation, transport, and storage of water in Wright Valley gullies. Water generation is contributed to by trapping of windblown snow in polygon troughs. Water transport is modified by changes to the ice-cement table and active layer topography caused by polygon trough formation. Water storage is modified by sediment grain-size distribution within ...

Accurate mapping and measurement of erosion channels is necessary to accurately estimate the impact of channeled erosion in an area. Field surveys can provide optimal quantitative results, but they are only applicable to small areas. Recently, photogrammetric techniques have been applied to small format aerial photographs that were taken by UAVs. Few studies have applied photogrammetry for mapp...

a r t i c l e i n f o The distribution and morphological characteristics of channels were mapped in a redwood forest at Caspar Creek, California, USA, to evaluate the extent to which recent logging has influenced channel conditions in the area. In the North Fork Caspar Creek watershed, second-cycle logging of the early 1990s appears to have triggered increased coalescence of discontinuous gulli...

Great interest has recently been focused on dating and interpreting alluvial-fan surfaces. As a complement to the radiometric methods often used for surface-exposure dating, this paper illustrates a rapid method for correlating and dating fan surfaces using the cross-sectional shape of gullies incised into fan surfaces. The method applies a linear hillslope-diffusion model to invert for the dif...
