Spatial Analysis of Soil Creep Rates on Mount Sequoyah, Fayetteville Arkansas
… is the general downslope movement of sediments, soils, and rock through different processes that cause instabilities along a hillslope, and in its soil and loose rubble mantle. For this study, we looked at soil creep, which is the small-scale movement of soil downhill because of gravity, wetting …

The Influence of The Burrowing Mammal Tamias Striatus on The Soil Creep Process
… slope processes in east central Illinois, U.S.A. Soil creep measurements were made on both a short-term (biweekly) and a long-term (one year) basis, using t-bars and Young pits respectively. Surface sediment transport was monitored with the use of sediment traps. Data on soil moisture, soil …

Rates of hillslope lowering in the Badlands of North Dakota
… underlain by the Tongue River Formation. Soil creep occurs mainly on the Tongue River Formation and is mostly restricted to the northeast-facing hillslopes where the average rate of soil creep parallel to the hillslope surface is 0.23 inch per year in the upper 2.5 inches of surficial …

Analysis and Modeling of Landscape Topography: Statistical Description and Evolution Under Natural and Disturbed Conditions
… regulating ecosystem functioning in terms of soil properties as well as water and energy budgets, and creating visually diverse and striking patterns across various spatial scales. Furthermore, the natural evolution of a topography under the influence of geologic erosion can be greatly altered …

Periglacial Geomorphological Mapping of the Comanche Peak Area . Mummy Range, Larimer County, Colorado
… bouldery subsidences, boulder fields, hummocky soil creep and cryoplanation surfaces. The patterned ground features, sorted polygons and sorted stripes develop only at elevations above 11,200 ft. (3368 m). A map shows all of the morphometry of the periglacial landscape. The periglacial landform …

Topographic asymmetry and climate controls on landscape evolution
… mechanisms such as aspect-induced variations in soil creep intensity, regolith strength, and runoff, and also lateral channel migration. Numerical experiments reveal topographic signatures associated with each of these mechanisms that can be compared with field sites that exhibit asymmetry. I …

Applied geology of the Bismarck-Mandan area, North Dakota
… steep slopes are often subject to slumping and soil creep.</p> <p>Construction problems can also be expected on the flat Missouri River valley and along the other streams. Flooding is common along all the streams except the Missouri River. Water tables are very high and many areas are poorly …

Delineation of Landslide Hazard and Development of Mitigation Tools in a Vulnerable City
… underlain by young, soft sedimentary rocks and soils. In the city of Gisborne, the expansion of residential blocks into steeper terrain in peri-urban areas has required improved capacity for the characterization and monitoring of slope stability. Landslides have affected several properties and …

Application of rate dependent soil model, MIT-SR, for evaluation of long-term ground movements due to consolidation and creep
… predictions of settlements of compressible soil strata are based on results of laboratory element tests on small test specimens. Ladd et al. (1977) show that scaling of laboratory consolidation tests to field scale is strongly affected by assumed creep properties of the clay, leading to …
