in the Taroko gorge, eastern Central Range, Taiwan. Without considering gorge wall retreat, the estimates therefore represent maximum incision rates. The long-term gorge development governed by tectonic uplift is superimposed by short-term variations in incision
Evaluation of the EUROSEM model with single event data on Steeplands in the Three Gorges Reservoir Areas, China
The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM), a process-based model simulating erosion on an event basis for fields and small catchments, was tested using data from rainfall simulation experiments on steeplands (slopes >47%) in the Three Gorges
The Tapi Gorge lies in the monsoon-dominated region of the Indian subcontinent. The main objectives are to record and explain the longitudinal variations in the morphologic and sediment characters of the sinuous bedrock gorge, and to understand
Development, land-use change and rural resettlement capacity: a case study of the Three Gorges Project, China
Aménagement hydraulique ; Barrage ; Capacité de charge ; Chine ; Espace rural ; Foncier ; Impact ; Protection de l'environnement ; Sichuan ; Three Gorges Project ; Transfert de population ; Utilisation du sol
L'inondation consécutive à l'édification du Barrage des Trois Gorges et la politique d'ajustement au niveau de l'utilisation du sol se sont traduites par des changements dans cette utilisation, et ont eu des impacts sur la capacité de la charge
The region east of Hafik has a wide variety of well developed karstic features such as karrens, dissolution dolines, collapse dolines, blind valleys, karstic springs, swallow holes, caves, unroofed caves, natural bridges, gorges and poljes
Equilibrium or indeterminate ? Where sediment budgets fail : sediment mass balance and adjustment of channel form, Green River downstream from Flaming Gorge Dam, Utah and Colorado
This study examines bed and bank adjustment in the 105-km reach of the Green River immediately downstream from Flaming Gorge Dam by the use of historical aerial and oblique photographs, analysis of current and abandoned stream-gaging records
recession rate for 12 000 y. indicates rapid erosion of the waterfall. This indicates that the waterfall recession is a primary response of fluvial erosion after deglaciation, creating a narrow gorge below the waterfall. Further data collection
chemical weathering and lithification of alluvium along the river resulting in the formation of small rapids, waterfalls and inset gorges, features characteristic more of bedrock than alluvial systems.
that they are similar to other anastomosing river depositional systems. Secondly, the results will serve as a baseline indicator for monitoring and evaluating the fluvial environmental change that will occur due to the impoundment and flow regulation of the 3-Gorges Dam
