Changing Sediment Transport Processes In Response To Anthropocene Forcing, Brian C. Yellen
Changing Sediment Transport Processes In Response To Anthropocene Forcing, Brian C. Yellen
Doctoral Dissertations
The denudation of uplands and sediment deposition within lowlands comprises one of the most fundamental earth processes. Much like plate tectonics or isostasy, sediment transport runs through nearly every geologic sub-discipline. Its importance extends to other fields as well, such as soil and plant science, archaeology, and engineering. Research in the field of sedimentology remains current, with changes in global sediment transport invoked as a primary line of evidence for the arrival of the Anthropocene, and sedimentary archives frequently employed to evaluate current processes relative to the past. In this vein, my doctoral studies have centered on understanding some aspects …
