Soil and Water Conservation Society The Soil and Water Conservation Society is an international organization that fosters the science and the art of soil and water conservation to achieve sustained use of land resources. Soil Erosion Network of GCTE (Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems) Objectives of the Soil Erosion Network are to design and undertake experimental and monitoring programmes of soil erosion and to refine and adapt soil erosion models for use in studies of environmental and climate change. Useful list of links to other soil erosion sites is included. Laboratory for Experimental Geomorphology, Catholic University Louvain, Belgium A key area of interest of the Laboratory for Experimental Geomorphology is the study of the processes and mechanics of overland flow hydraulics and soil erosion, including raindrop impact, interrill and rill erosion, gully erosion and tillage erosion. Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) The WEPP-model, developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is a process-based, distributed model for soil erosion prediction. Model software and documentation can be obtained through this site. National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory Homepage of the National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory of the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. Soil Erosion and WEPP Technology Tutorial describing processes of soil erosion as well as ways to predict and control erosion. Applications of Caesium-137 in Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Studies Discusses the use of Caesium-137, an element of radioactive fallout, as a tracer to study the rates and patterns of soil erosion and deposition. Emergence and Erosion: a Model for Rill Initiation and Development Detailed description of the RillGrow2 model for the initiation of erosion rills on farmer's fields by rainfall runoff, including computer graphics of simulated rill patterns. Sediment Database of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) The site provides free, online access to a large database of daily suspended sediment values at 1593 measurement stations along rivers of the U.S.A.. Rainfall erosion processes and prediction Raindrop impact induced erosion processes and modeling, erosion modeling at the catchment (watershed) scale. |
