Landscape evolution represents the dynamic interplay between tectonic forces, climate, and surface processes that continuously reshape the Earth’s topography. Central to this evolution is the ...

Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego researchers have uncovered how rain and waves act on different parts of coastal cliffs. Following three years of cliff surveys in and near the ...

Soil erosion is a key hydro-geological hazard and a primary cause of land degradation around the world, and it is increasing due to the combined pressures ...

Across large parts of northern Tanzania, gully erosion – soil erosion caused by flowing water – is cutting deep scars through fertile farmland, grazing areas, roads and even villages. These gullies ...

With steep walls and deep valleys, the Grand Canyon in the western United States or the massive gorges that saw through the margins of the Tibetan Plateau are some of the most awesome and spectacular ...

Soil erosion is a significant problem for agricultural production, impacting soil quality and causing pollutants to enter waterways. Among all stages of soil erosion, gully erosion is the most severe ...

How mangrove roots interact with water flow is believed to be a key element in mitigating coastal erosion. Researchers are the first to quantify the optimal mangrove root hydrodynamic with a ...

A newly funded program to accelerate the science behind coastal bluff failures was signed into law this week. The bill, AB 66, outlines enhanced coastal monitoring to better understand the timing of ...

The erosion has progressed at an accelerated rate and has reached other rivers, threatening a national highway and Indigenous communities. Studies commissioned by the Ecuadoran government call for ...

A Perforation Erosion (PEER) Consortium is investigating perforation erosion in unconventional fracture limited-entry treatments. The consortium is led by NSI Technologies LLC (NSI) and brings ...
