Soil erosion by water is a serious issue in Afghanistan. Due to the geographic landscape, soil and climatic conditions, and the latest deforestation activities, there has been intensive soil erosion which has resulted in prolonged and great impact on social and economic developm…

This work investigated the design parameters necessary for the build and use of an in vitro artificial mouth model built for dental erosion research. It also ascertained the working knowledge of dentists concerning the Human Tissue Act (HTA) and explored an alternative tissue fo…
Low pressure steam turbine last stage blade behaviour was investigated and researched over duration of this PhD project period. The aim of the research was to enhance the life of last stage blades by investigation and mitigation of the accumulative damage throughout the life of …
Little attention has previously boon given to the sediments of the Eden estuary, Fife, Scotland. This research was performed in order to identify, delineate and account for the observed sedimentary facies in the superficial sediments of the intertidal zone.
Large-scale sandstone injectite complexes located in California and in Tunisia have exposures of external geometries and sedimentary structures. Substantial macroscale erosion occurred along the margins between the injected sandstones and host mudstones that include scalloped up…
Erosion and sediment delivery from upland areas to waterbodies is a major problem impacting water quality in the United States and elsewhere. Measures to reduce these impacts are either targeted at reducing erosion on-site or at reducing delivery of sediment to waterbodies. AMEE…
The effect of particle size, velocity, and angle of attack was investigated on the roughness and erosion rate of unmasked channels machined in borosilicate glass using abrasive jet micro-machining (AJM). Single impact experiments were conducted to quantify the damage due to the …
Throughout the world, large populations directly depend on the food, fuel and fiber produced by agroecosystems. These agricultural systems must be resilient to both increasing population pressures and changing environmental conditions. In many cases these systems are rainfed and…
Postglacial rivers are part of the relatively young low-relief landscape system left behind by glaciers. Over time, postglacial rivers are susceptible to both minor and major channel planform changes as the Earth and its newly exposed rivers adjust to new isostatic and geomorphi…
Coastal dune systems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to erosion and washover due to sea-level rise and changes in storm activity with changing climate. The impact, however, is not consistent within and across coastal barriers and there is a need to examine the alongshore va…
