The identification of eroded areas at catchment scale can be very useful for environmental planning and can help to reduce land degradation and sediment yield. In this paper remote sensing techniques are used to discriminate both eroded areas and erosion ... see more

At Bardenas Reales, erosion processes are due to hydric action and wind erosion. Climate, lithology and geomorphology are the main factors that control water erosion. Besides sediment yield by water, other forms exist to export material: mudslides and arm... see more

In semi-arid or sub-humid environments, there are isolate gullies or badland areas that could be caused by human activity. In some cases, particularly in cultivated areas, it is possible to identify artificial disturbances of the drainage network whose in... see more

The present research analyzes gully erosion processes in an area of the Alt Penedès and Anoia regions (Barcelona) at semi-detailed and detailed scales. For that, information technology methods (Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing) are develo... see more

Erosive dynamic of gullies in Mediterranean environments represents one the main causes of land degradation and sediment yield in productive agrosystems. In this work the semi-physics enhanced RMMF model is applied into a GIS to elaborate spatially distri... see more

This study shows the analyses of suspended sediment transport from badland areas developed in the Inner Depression (Central Pyrenees). The importance of these morphologies is related to its frequency, and to the high impact that they produce on the draina... see more

This paper analyzes gully erosion in valley bottoms of rangelands with a disperse tree cover in SW Spain (dehesas) and its relation with hydrology and land use. The study was carried out in a small catchment (99.5 ha). Two different approaches were used; ... see more
