Morphology Of Gullies In The Colorado Rocky Mountains

Abstract

A classification of gullies into discontinuous and continuous channels not only expresses differences in channel morphology and stage of development, but also presents helpful criteria for design of gully control. The term critical location was introduced for those locations within gullies that are obviously susceptible to changes, and whose direction of change is suggested. Regression analyses underlined the fact that the gullies constituted channels of youthful stage if relations between components in channel geometry were considered. © 1970 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
