Erosion of Hesperian craters, modification of Late Amazonian craters, and the concentration of hematite concretions in the soils of Meridiani yield slightly higher average erosion rates of 1–10 nm/yr in the Amazonian. These erosion rates are 2–5 orders of magnitude lower than the slowest

      Streambank erosion rates can be predicted using the Bank Assessment for Non-Point Source Consequences of Sediment (BANCS; Rosgen 2006). The BANCS method provides an estimate of the rate of erosion and the amount of bank material being released from streambanks into the river system. It is a visual assessment tool that, when combined with

      most up-to-date NRI information available, indicate that average soil erosion rates on all cropland and CRP land have decreased more than 38 percent since 1982. In 2003, the soil erosion rate was estimated at 4.5 tons per acre per year, compared to 7.3 tons per acre per year in 1982.

Large differences were observed between earlywood and latewood erosion rates during the first 7 years of weathering, but not during subsequent years. A significant change in the erosion rate of just the latewood was observed for

      Concentrated-flow erosion is often a major part of cropland erosion. The concentrated-flow processes of bed scour and head cut need improved characterization to better predict and prevent erosion. This study was conducted to compare the erosion rates due to simulated small-scale bed-scour (A,) and head-cut (Ai) processes. A 6.4-m-long

      Factors Controlling Rates of Glacial Erosion Erosion rate, E, increases with sliding velocity, U (E~10-4 U), and ice flux. This flux is, in long-term, dictated by snow input, hence erosion would tend to increase with amount of snow, S (E~10-3 S) Quarrying rates are high for glaciers that: – move rapidly (sliding ≥100 m/yr)
