Comparison of routing algorithms for digital elevation models and their implications for predicting ephemeral gullies

PJJ Desmet, G Govers - International Journal of Geographical …, 1996 - Taylor & Francis
Six routing algorithms, describing how flow (and water borne material) will be routed over
Digital Elevation Models, are described and compared. The performance of these algorithms is …

The relative contribution of soil tillage and overland flow erosion to soil redistribution on agricultural land

This study uses evidence for the long‐term (35 years) pattern of soil redistribution within two
agricultural fields in the UK to identify the relative importance of tillage and overland flow …

Effects of interpolation errors on the analysis of DEMs

PJJ Desmet - Earth surface processes and landforms: The …, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
A suite of methods to interpolate a digital elevation model from a ground survey was evaluated
with respect to precision and ability to maintain the shape of the original height data. This …

Importance of slope gradient and contributing area for optimal prediction of the initiation and trajectory of ephemeral gullies

PJJ Desmet, J Poesen, G Govers, K Vandaele - Catena, 1999 - Elsevier
Ephemeral gully erosion rates are controlled by various factors out of which topography
plays an important role. This study investigates the possibility to predict the location of …

GIS-based simulation of erosion and deposition patterns in an agricultural landscape: a comparison of model results with soil map information

PJJ Desmet, G Govers - Catena, 1995 - Elsevier
This paper presents a relatively simple, two-dimensional hillslope erosion-deposition model:
the model differs from most geomorphological models in that it does not assume that …

Two-dimensional modelling of the within-field variation in rill and gully geometry and location related to topography

PJJ Desmet, G Govers - Catena, 1997 - Elsevier
The topography, rill pattern and geometry were surveyed within a small agricultural field. The
rill network and dimensions were converted to a grid-based system and used to calculate …
