Quantifying soil surface erosion by Philippe, Pierre, Benahmed, Nadia

“…In order to describe this type of measurement in deeper detail, we restricted the scope of our review to situations of concentrated surface erosion of homogeneous soils, on moderate spatial and temporal scales, as typically studied in the fields of civil or environmental engineering. Measuring erosion itself is challenging, both in terms of determining the rate of mass removal from a surface, and in terms of selecting and quantifying a relevant hydrodynamic quantity to reflect the strength exerted by the flow. …”
