Differences in hillslope runoff and sediment transport rates within two semi-arid catchments in southeast Spain
Erosion ; Lithology ; Murcia ; Precipitation ; Runoff ; Sediment transport ; Semi-arid area ; Spain ; Watershed
This paper focuses on hillslope runoff and sediment transport within 2 catchments in southeast Spain. 5 monitoring sites were established on hillslope concavities throughout the 2 catchments. The techniques used were mini-crest stage recorders
Temperate and semi-arid tufas in the Pleistocene to recent fluvial barrage system in the Mediterranean area : the Ruidera Lakes Natural Park (Central Spain)
Albacete ; Carbonate ; Dam ; Lacustrine sedimentation ; Lake ; Mediterranean area ; Quaternary ; Sedimentary ; Spain ; Th/U dating ; Tufa
This paper aims to describe the relationships between landslides and river incision in the Arroyo de Gor area in SE Spain. In this case, Late Pleistocene-Holocene river entrenchment caused rotational slides, which, in turn, caused enlargement
The influence of rainfall distribution and morphological factors on runoff delivery from dryland catchments in SE Spain
Arid area ; Infiltration ; Land use ; Modelling ; Precipitation ; Runoff ; Spain ; Topography ; Watershed
A simplified theoretical model of storm runoff has been combined with analysis of rainfall records to improve understanding of dryland runoff processes in the Guadalentin catchment of SE Spain, and in particular the decrease in runoff fraction
Fluvial sediment budget of a Mediterranean river : the lower Tordera (Catalan Coastal Ranges, NE Spain)
Carrying capacity ; Catalonia ; Grain size distribution ; Mediterranean area ; Sediment budget ; Sediment transport ; Spain ; Stream ; Suspended load
The aim of this study is to estimate the sediment budget of a Mediterranean river, the lower part of the Tordera basin (Catalan Coastal Ranges, NE Spain). The research was carried out between 1997 and 1999. The budget is based on measurements
