Downslope Sequences of Sediment Transport and Deposition on High Arctic Slopes
Title: Downslope Sequences of Sediment Transport and Deposition on High Arctic Slopes, Author: Tony J. Wilkinson, Location: Thode The transport of solid material in the form of movements of suspended and bed load in overland flow is examined. This movement achieves considerable magnitudes in many ri...
