Gully head development represents a significant geomorphic process in a wide range of
environments. Several studies investigated the critical topographic conditions, expressed by …

This revised and updated edition continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to the
subject, exploring the world's landforms from a broad systems perspective. It covers the …

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

A channel head is the upstream-most point of concentrated water flow and sediment
transport between definable banks with a longitudinally continuous channel downstream. A …

Threshold conditions for channel initiation are evaluated by using gridded elevation data
derived from a lidar survey, a reliable algorithm for the determination of surface flow paths …

Topographical threshold conditions (s≥ ka− b), expressed by local slope (s) and drainage
area (a), have been widely used to predict gully incision locations. However, little attention …

Stream network density exerts a strong influence on ecohydrologic processes in
watersheds, yet existing stream maps fail to capture most headwater streams and therefore …

Understanding relationships between meteorological conditions and rockfall activity is
important for the management of rockfall risks as well as for the estimation of future rockfall …

Intensive agricultural land use in the 18th to early 20th centuries on the southeastern
Piedmont resulted in substantial soil erosion and gully development. Today, many …

Landslides are one of the most frequent geomorphic hazards, and they often result in the
loss of property and human life in the Changbai Mountain area (CMA), Northeast China. The …
