Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rates of Sediment Production in Southwestern United States The curve of this equation is plotted as Curve 1 in Figure 3. Curves 2, 3, and L were drawn by eye. As the exponent is greater than 1 in all cases, the suspended load is shown to increase at a greater rate than runoff. In other words, the larger the annual runoff, the higher is the mean annual sediment concentration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rates of Sediment Production in Midwestern United States Sediment is a major problem in flood control in the Midwestern States. Although the concentrations of solid matter carried by streams in this region are not so high as in the West, still, because runoff is so much greater and because there are so many more facilities to be damaged by sediment in the densely populated Midwest, sediment causes large annual damages. The sediment loads carried by Midwestern streams have or should have a very significant influence on the location, design, and mainte nance of storage reservoirs for power, irrigation, flood control, water supply, silt control, and recreation, Deposition of coarse sediment on agricultural bottomlands causes serious loss of soil fertility. Many drainage enterprises in the Midwest are severely damaged each year or are costly to maintain because of silting of drainage ditches. Agricultural lands and some urban areas are being flooded more fre quently because of channel filling. Some bottomlands are being ren dered too swampy for cultivation. Large amounts of sediment are settling each year in the navigable channels of the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and must be removed by dredging. Other types of sediment damage in this region include the killing of growing plants and lowering of the carrying capacity of pastures by deposition on the foliage, destruction of desirable species of fish and other wildlife, recreational losses because of turbidity and silt ing of beaches, bulking of flood flows, and deposition of sediment in houses, streets, machinery, and wells. In order to plan adequate measures for reducing these costly sediment damages, it is necessary to have reliable information on the sediment loads carried by streams in this region. This publication summarizes available records for the Midwestern States (upper Mississippi, Ohio and Great lakes drainage basins) in a form similar to that previously used for the Southwestern States An attempt has been made to compile, evaluate and translate into com parable units all of the data that are considered usable in estimating quantities of sediment carried by streams in this region.

Download or read book Understanding the Long-term Evolution of the Coupled Natural-human Coastal System ; the Future of the U.S. Gulf Coast written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.). Committee on Long-Term Coastal Zone Dynamics: Interactions and Feedbacks Between Natural and Human Processes Along the U.S. Gulf Coast and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U.S. Gulf Coast provides a valuable setting to study deeply connected natural and human interactions and feedbacks that have led to a complex, interconnected coastal system. The physical landscape in the region has changed significantly due to broad-scale, long-term processes such as coastal subsidence and river sediment deposition as well as short-term episodic events such as hurricanes. Modifications from human activities, including building levees and canals and constructing buildings and roads, have left their own imprint on the natural landscape. This coupled natural-human coastal system and the individual aspects within it (physical, ecological, and human) are under increased pressure from accelerating environmental stressors such as sea level rise, intensifying hurricanes, and continued population increase with its accompanying coastal development. Promoting the resilience and maintaining the habitability of the Gulf Coast into the future will need improved understanding of the coupled natural-human coastal system, as well as effective sharing of this understanding in support of decision-making and policies. Understanding the Long-term Evolution of the Coupled Natural-Human Coastal System presents a research agenda meant to enable a better understanding of the multiple and interconnected factors that influence long-term processes along the Gulf Coast. This report identifies scientific and technical gaps in understanding the interactions and feedbacks between human and natural processes, defines essential components of a research and development program in response to the identified gaps, and develops priorities for critical areas of research"--Publisher's description

Book Synopsis Sedimentary Petrology by : Maurice E. Tucker
Download or read book Sedimentary Petrology written by Maurice E. Tucker and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earlier editions of this book have been used by successive generations of students for more than 20 years, and it is the standard text on the subject in most British universities and many others throughout the world. The study of sediments and sedimentary rocks continues to be a core topic in the Earth Sciences and this book aims to provide a concise account of their composition, mineralogy, textures, structures, diagenesis and depositional environments. This latest edition is noteworthy for the inclusion of 16 plates with 54 colour photomicrographs of sedimentary rocks in thin-section. These bring sediments to life and show their beauty and colorful appearance down the microscope; they will aid the student enormously in laboratory petrographic work. The text has been revised where necessary and the reference and further reading lists brought up-to-date. New tables have been included to help undergraduates with rock and thin-section description and interpretation. New 16-page colour section will mean students do not need to buy Longman Atlas All illustrations redrawn to higher standard Complete revision of text - new material on sedimentary geochemistry, etc

Nemčok and published by Geological Society of London Special Publications. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transform margins form a significant portion of Earth’s continent–ocean transition and are integral to continental break-up, yet compared to other margins are poorly understood. This volume brings together new multidisciplinary research to document the structural, sedimentological and thermal evolution of transform margins, highlighting their relationship to continental structure, neighbouring oceanic segments, pull-apart basins and marginal plateaus. Special emphasis is given to the comparison of transform and rifted margins, and to the economic implications of transform margin structure and evolution. Transform case studies include the Agulhas–Falkland transform, Coromandal transform (East India), Davie margin and Limpopo transform (East Africa), Guyana transform margin, Demerara transform margin (Suriname), Romanche and St Paul transforms (equatorial Africa), Sagaing transform (Andaman Sea) and Zenith–Wallaby–Perth transform (West Australia). The broad-scale interplay between transform and rifted margin segments in the North and Central Atlantic, and Caribbean, is also examined.
