Slope Erosion Monitoring and Anti-erosion
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil erosion is a major global problem that generally leads to serious and disastrous consequences with respect to the environment, economy and engineering. The slope erosional process accelerates as it is subjected to the human activities and weak topsoil. As a result, large amounts of fine soil particles and nutrients transported by the runoff from the original land induces a threat to environmental sustainability. Water erosion, as the largest source of global soil erosion, also causes various engineering problems, including road embankment collapses and river bank and slope failures. Worldwide erosion monitoring and anti-erosion efforts should be mounted in view of the high incidence and universality of soil erosion.
The present topic aims to provide a representative and updated collection of research articles and reviews regarding the main processes in slope erosion monitoring and anti-erosion. These studies are expected to address fundamental and applied research questions in the areas of geotechnics, geology engineering, ecology and botany, etc. In order to properly organize this variety of contents, the topic will be joined by the following journals: Sensors, Remote Sensing, Polymers, Nanomaterials and Applied Sciences.
The topic will cover the following subjects and others:
- Slope stability evaluations;
- Ecological restoration of slopes;
- Slope erosion monitoring;
- Slope stability monitoring;
- Water and soil loss assessments;
- Erosion slope restoration.
