GRADISTAT: a grain size distribution and statistics package for the analysis of unconsolidated sediments

Simon J. Blott, Kenneth Pye · 28 Sep 2001

Abstract Grain size analysis is an essential tool for classifying sedimentary environments. The calculation of statistics for many samples can, however, be a laborious process. A computer program called GRADISTAT has been written for the rapid analysis of grain size statistics from any of the standard measuring techniques, such as sieving and laser granulometry. Mean,…

Quantitative analysis of land surface topography

Lyle W. Zevenbergen, Colin R. Thorne · 1 Jan 1987

Abstract Land surface topography significantly affects the processes of runoff and erosion. A system which determines slope, aspect, and curvature in both the down‐slope and across‐slope directions is developed for an altitude matrix. Also, the upslope drainage area and maximum drainage distance are determined for every point within the altitude matrix. A FORTRAN 66 program…

Landslide inventories and their statistical properties

Bruce D. Malamud, Donald L. Turcotte, Fausto Guzzetti et al. · 1 Jun 2004

Abstract Landslides are generally associated with a trigger, such as an earthquake, a rapid snowmelt or a large storm. The landslide event can include a single landslide or many thousands. The frequency–area (or volume) distribution of a landslide event quantifies the number of landslides that occur at different sizes. We examine three well‐documented landslide events,…

The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM): a dynamic approach for predicting sediment transport from fields and small catchments

R. P. C. Morgan, John Quinton, R. E. Smith et al. · 1 Jun 1998

The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM) is a dynamic distributed model, able to simulate sediment transport, erosion and deposition over the land surface by rill and interill processes in single storms for both individual fields and small catchments. Model output includes total runoff, total soil loss, the storm hydrograph and storm sediment graph. Compared with…

Accounting for uncertainty in DEMs from repeat topographic surveys: improved sediment budgets

Joseph M. Wheaton, James Brasington, Stephen E. Darby et al. · 10 Dec 2009

Abstract Repeat topographic surveys are increasingly becoming more affordable, and possible at higher spatial resolutions and over greater spatial extents. Digital elevation models (DEMs) built from such surveys can be used to produce DEM of Difference (DoD) maps and estimate the net change in storage terms for morphological sediment budgets. While these products are extremely…
