understanding the development of gully volumes requires the empirical relations between gully volume (v) and length (l) to be established in the field. so far, such v–l relations have been proposed for a limited number of gullies/environments and were especially developed for ephemeral gullies.in this study, v–l relations were established for ephemeral gullies in southern ilam. in order to take...

gully erosion has an important role in fars province due to sediment production and enormous damages to land, roads and infrastructures. in this research, 15 gullies were selected to measure their morphometric characteristics. the length, depth, top and bottom width and volume of gully erosion were then measured. influential factors on the sediment production and gully development were analyzed...

This research is focused on gully erosion mapping and monitoring at multiple spatial scales using multi-source remote sensing data of the Sancha River catchment in Northeast China, where gullies extend over a vast area. A high resolution satellite image (Pleiades 1A, 0.7 m) was used to obtain the spatial distribution of the gullies of the overall basin. Image visual interpretation with field ve...

[1] We have conducted surveys of gullies that developed in a small, steep watershed in the Idaho Batholith after a severe wildfire followed by intense precipitation. We measured gully length and cross sections to estimate the volumes of sediment loss due to gully formation. These volume estimates are assumed to provide an estimate of sediment transport capacity at each survey cross section from...

This paper took a subregion in a small watershed gully system at Beiyanzikou catchment of Qixia, China, as a study and, using object-orientated image analysis (OBIA), extracted shoulder line of gullies from high spatial resolution digital orthophoto map (DOM) aerial photographs. Next, it proposed an accuracy assessment method based on the adjacent distance between the boundary classified by rem...

abstract gully erosion is a kind of water erosion that has high priority in fars province due to sediment production and enormous damages to land, roads and infrastructures. in this study, 15 gullies were selected and their morphometric characteristics, such as catchment area, soil, cover vegetation and climate were measured. in order to determine influential factors on the sediment production ...

Taking the Quickbird optical satellite imagery of the small watershed of Beiyanzigou valley of Qixia city, Shandong province, as the study data, we proposed a new method by using a fused image of topography with remote sensing imagery (RSI) to achieve a high precision interpretation of gully edge lines. The technique first transformed remote sensing imagery into HSV color space from RGB color s...

Terrestrial close range digital photogrammetric methods were used to obtain three-dimensional data on erosion gullies associated with waste rock dumps at Newmont Australia’s Jundee gold mining operations. Digital stereo pairs of photographs were taken at each site and three-dimensional images produced using the CSIRO software package SIRO3D. Difficulties associated with producing accurate three...
