Discussion. Denudational isostatic rebound of intraplate highlands: The Lachlan river valley,Australia

Episodic terrace cutting cannot be a complex response to the steady isostatic rebound forecast by an elastic flexure model because three terraces match epiphreatic passage levels in nearby caves. There is also some doubt about how fluvial incision rates should be extrapolated to catchment-wide rates. At the local scale of the Lachlan River highlands, active tectonic compression may be more important than flexure, which is more important at a regional scale.

Erosion of the eastern United States observed with 10Be

The problem of identifying areas of accelerated erosion in a dynamic landscape is complicated. The limited history of sediment yield measurements makes this task difficult even if geomorphic evidence is available. Beryllium-10, a cosmogenic isotope produced by cosmic rays interacting with the earth's atmosphere and surface, has chemical and physical properties that make it useful as a tracer for erosion and sediment transport processes. The rarity of the stable isotope, ⁹Be, allows ¹⁰Be to be detected with accelerator mass spectrometry in natural materials at extremely low levels. Backgrounds for rocks and sediments below 10⁵ atom per g are now attainable, a value to be compared with an average deposition rate of 1.3 × 10⁶ atom cm^?2 yr^?1. The affinity of Be for the components of soil and sediment is sufficiently high that it is effectively immobilized on contact, thereby allowing ¹⁰Be to function as a tracer of sediment transport. To a good approximation all the ¹⁰Be transport out of a drainage basin is on the sediment leaving it. The number of ¹⁰Be atoms passing the gauging station can be determined by measuring the concentration of the isotope in the sediment, if the annual sediment load is known. The ratio of the ¹⁰Be carried from the basin by the sediment to that incident upon it, called the erosion index, has been determined for 48 drainage basins within the same physiographic province, which allows them to be reasonably compared, all of which have sediment yield data. Basins located in the Atlantic coastal plain have an average index of 0.3 with the maximum observed being 0.9. Basins located between the fall line and the mountains, a region called the Piedmont, have an average value of 2.2 with individual values ranging from 0.6 to 6.7; this marked difference is thought to result from two centuries of farming on land of moderate gradient. Basins in the highland regions reflect local conditions with low indices for those in grass and timber and high indices associated with destructive land use. The data allow an estimate of the erosion index for the pre-colonial Piedmont, which then allows the pre-colonial sediment yield to be calculated. A number of basins have also been examined world wide with similar conclusions derived. An important deviation from the rule is noted for rivers that erode large regions of loess, such as the Mississippi, Hwang Ho, and Yangtze. Large aeolian deposits were laid down during the ice age in these basins, deposits that brought inherited ¹⁰Be with them and that are easily eroded.

Wind waves and sediment transport regime off the south-central Kerala coast,India

Wind waves in the innershelf of the south-central Kerala coast, south-west India were measured at four locations during different seasons. Simultaneously, numerical models were developed to simulate the wave and sediment transport regime of the innershelf. Strong monsoonal influence is seen in the wave characteristics with greater amplitudes, lower periods and switch-over from SW to SWW–W direction. The net annual longshore sediment transport is southerly in the innershelf and northerly in the surf zone. These counter-directional transports are linked by seasonally reversing the cross-shore transports. In the locations where the transports in the longshore and cross-shore directions are balanced, stable beaches prevail. Erosion/accretion tendency prevails in locations where these transports are not balanced. The southern and northern parts of the coast where onshore transports are predominant could be accreting zones. The erosion/accretion pattern deduced from the sediment transport model corresponds well with the long-term erosion/accretion trend for this coast.     

A fuzzy approach to classify physico-mechanical rock property with varying pH of the surrounding medium

The information on the soundness of rock is very important for enduring safety and stability of miming, marine and civil structures. The present paper mainly deals with a fuzzy approach to determine the effect of acidic watery environment on the rock strength of the sandstone rock sample. Fuzzy inference system developed here intelligently predicts the competency of the rock, based on experimental data used for the model development. The approach used would be able to predict the relative rock strength at any range of acidic to basic watery environment for any geotechnical investigation or application to achieve long-term durability.     

FREEZE/THAW EFFECTS ON RILL AND GULLY EROSION IN THE NORTHWESTERN WHEAT AND RANGE REGION

Hydrology of the Northwestern Wheat and Range Region （NWRR） of the Pacific Northwest USA is dominated by winter events. Fifty-five to sixty-five percent of the precipitation occurs from November through March, and formation of impermeable frost, intensified by excessive tillage and tillage pans, has long been a major factor in rill and gully formation in the region. Saturated zones can form above tillage pans, freeze solid, and significantly reduce infiltration. Frost heaved surface soils thaw and weaken with warming temperatures or rain. Under these conditions, runoff from rain or snowmelt or a combination of the two is inevitable, concentrating in rills and channels, and carrying with it the loosened soil. Slopes are frequently quite steep and there may be little deposition above the toe slope. Classical over-fall head-cut gullies are uncommon. Concentrated flow channels form because of collection of water from impervious areas such as conventionally tilled fall seeded small grains and bare grass seed fields. In some soils, gullies are created by seepage from saturated layers above permanent restrictive layers in the soil. Gullies can also result from terrace failures due to rodent burrows and low compaction at the time of construction. In naturally unconsolidated soil, rodent activity can lead to piping failures that remove large quantities of subsurface soil and can become gullies. Rill measurements on conventionally tilled fields in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho were used to determine coefficients for relationships between slope length and steepness and size of rills. This paper describes these studies and the results as well as analysis of long-term erosion and weather records from southeastern Washington.     

淹没水射流关键参数对天然气水合物沉积物冲蚀体积的影响规律研究

高压水射流技术具有工作介质来源广泛与环保等优点,能够用于海底天然气水合物储层破碎。本文运用LS-DYNA有限元程序对淹没状态下高压水射流对海洋天然气水合物沉积物破碎过程进行数值模拟,研究了射流速度、喷嘴直径、靶距、入射角度四项关键参数对含水合物沉积物冲蚀体积的影响,得出以下主要结论：含水合物沉积物产生破碎需要满足射流速度大于临界流速;随着射流速度的增加冲蚀体积逐渐增大;喷嘴直径的增加会导致沉积物径向冲蚀体积的增大,从而使总体冲蚀体积增大;靶距的增加会使水射流在水域运动过程中能量损失增大,导致冲蚀体积的减小;在喷嘴入射角度增大过程中冲蚀体积将会先增大后减小最后趋于稳定,当入射角度为10°时冲蚀体积能够达到最大值。
