Petrographic classifications of sand and sandstone proposed more than half a century ago
are still in use, although they were formulated at a time when depositional and post …

Abstract Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) and Sediment Generation (SG) are two branches
of sedimentary geology which are complementary, although their full integration remains …

In the drought-prone Upper Blue Nile River (UBNR) basin of Ethiopia, soil erosion by water
results in significant consequences that also affect downstream countries. However, there …

This study integrates the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) with GIS and
remote sensing techniques to assess soil erosion severity in the Dembecha District …

Soil erosion by water is one of the main environmental concerns in Ethiopia. Several studies
have examined this at plot and watershed scales, but no systematic study of soil erosion …

The landuse/cover changes in the Ethiopian highlands have significantly increased the
variability of runoff and sediment fluxes of the Blue Nile River during the last few decades …

We often resort to mythical thinking in the face of natural phenomena that we hardly
understand. Sedimentary petrology has several long-standing myths. One is that sediments …

This article investigates both experimentally and theoretically the compositional changes
associated with textural effects and hydraulic sorting during sediment transport and …

A multi basin analysis of runoff and erosion in the Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia was conducted
to elucidate sources of runoff and sediment. Erosion is arguably the most critical problem in …

Heavy mineral concentration in sediments depends primarily on the chemistry and tectono-
stratigraphic level of rocks eroded within continental-block, arc, or orogenic source terranes …
