| Summary: | Geomorphic process units have been derived in order to allow quantification via GIS techniques at a catchment scale. Mass movement rates based on existing field measurements are employed in the budget calculations. In the Kärkevagge catchment, Northern Sweden, 80% of the area can be identified either as a source area for sediments or as a zone where sediments are deposited. The overall budget for the slopes beneath the rockwalls in the Kärkevagge is approximately 680 t/a whilst about 150 t a–1 are transported into the fluvial system. ... : The dataset comprises all input data (DEM, NDVI) and the resulting process units (see publication for numbering) as well sedimentbudgets as ArcInfo E00 files. ... |
