Erosion: Processes and Methods

Repetition and consolidation of knowledge of basic earth surface processes (weathering, erosion, transport, deposition); description and quantification of erosion parameters with a focus on water erosion; methods for measurements of erosion and sediment fluxes at various spatial and temporal scales (e.g. sediment traps, tracers, cosmogenic nuclides, sedimentary fingerprinting); erosion models on various scales (e.g., USLE, BQART); global importance of the sediment loads of fluvial systems; quantification of sediment budgets.
