The risk of occurrence of erosion processes on the western slope of the Tom’-Yaya interfluve

We assessed the level of geomorphological risk associated with the occurrence of erosion processes on the western slope of the Tom’-Yaya interfluve (West-Siberian Plain). We suggest the technique for points-based risk assessment in technogenically modified and naturally occurring geomorphological sy...

Description
Summary:We assessed the level of geomorphological risk associated with the occurrence of erosion processes on the western slope of the Tom’-Yaya interfluve (West-Siberian Plain). We suggest the technique for points-based risk assessment in technogenically modified and naturally occurring geomorphological systems. Using the Luchanovskii area as an example, we identified the zones of increased, moderate and low risk levels.
