Description :
This paper investigates the dynamics of soil armouring as a result of fluvial erosion for a non-cohesive sandy gravel spoil from the Ranger Mine, Australia, and a cohesive silt loam spoil from the Northpakes Mine, Australia, using a model for hillslope soil armouring. The AA. discuss the implications for hillslope form and, in particular, the design of artificial hillslopes in equilibrium with runoff and erosion.
