Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Changes in Channel-Stored Sediment, Redwood Creek, California Historically, geomorphologists have studied both hillslope erosion processes and sediment transport in rivers, but few studies have quantified a link between these two areas the storage component of channels. Channels may temporarily store sediment derived from hillslope erosion before transporting it out of the system. The quantity of sediment and its residence time varies with the type of system. Streams in steep mountainous terrain store little sediment for relatively brief periods of time, whereas rivers in broad alluvial valleys store vast quantities of sediment in their floodplains for thousands of years. As a result, channel storage may modify the effects of hillslope erosion on sediment yield measurements made at a point downstream. Thus sediment yield measurements may not truly reflect current rates of hillslope erosion in a watershed. Nevertheless, changes in sediment yield are often used to detect changes in rates of hillslope erosion due to land use modifications. In basins where channels store a significant portion of sediment in transport, it is not valid to assume a constant relation between hillslope erosion and sediment yield because the amount of alluvial storage can change in response to modifications in a watershed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines a generic set of procedures, termed the River Styles Framework, which provides a set of tools for interpreting river character, behavior, condition, and recovery potential. Applications of the framework generate a coherent package of geomorphic information, providing a physical template for river rehabilitation activities. management and restoration of rivers is a rapidly growing topic for environmental scientists, geologists and ecologists - this book provides a learning tool with which to approach geomorphic applications to river management describes the essential geomorphological principles underlying river behaviour and evolution demonstrates how the River Styles Framework can turn geomorphic theory into practice, to develop workable strategies for restoration and management based on real case studies and authors extensive experience applicable to river systems worldwide synthesises fluvial geomorphology, ecology and management

Download or read book Gravel Bed Rivers 6 written by H. Habersack and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the interdisciplinary approaches between earth science, engineering, physical geography, ecology and management, this text focuses on the theoretical questions, case-studies, challenges, and constraints taken from river restoration. It is illustrated with reports of new ground-breaking research covering spatial and temporal scales of physical processes in river catchments, coupling catchment and fluvial processes, grain dynamics and fluvial forms and on geo-ecology and restoration in mountain gravel-bed river environments. Each chapter includes discussions and comments providing experience and feedback from the fundamental research. This book covers scales of analysis for gravel-bed rivers, physics and modeling of processes at local and point scales, sediment delivery and storage, eco-geography and eco-hydraulics, and channel management and restoration. * Major topics in the field are presented by recognized scientific leaders * Chapters cover theories, practices, and methodologies in river management and restoration * Interdisciplinary approach includes case-studies on new, ground-breaking research

This book was released on 2004-04-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides occur in all geographic regions of the nation in response to a wide range of conditions and triggering processes that include storms, earthquakes, and human activities. Landslides in the United States result in an estimated average of 25 to 50 deaths annually and cost $1 to 3 billion per year. In addition to direct losses, landslides also cause significant environmental damage and societal disruption. Partnerships for Reducing Landslide Risk reviews the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS)National Landslide Hazards Mitigation Strategy, which was created in response to a congressional directive for a national approach to reducing losses from landslides. Components of the strategy include basic research activities, improved public policy measures, and enhanced mitigation of landslides. This report commends the USGS for creating a national approach based on partnerships with federal, state, local, and non-governmental entities, and finds that the plan components are the essential elements of a national strategy. Partnerships for Reducing Landslide Risk recommends that the plan should promote the use of risk analysis techniques, and should play a vital role in evaluating methods, setting standards, and advancing procedures and guidelines for landslide hazard maps and assessments. This report suggests that substantially increased funding will be required to implement a national landslide mitigation program, and that as part of a 10-year program the funding mix should transition from research and guideline development to partnership-based implementation of loss reduction measures.
