About

    Erosion is a natural process where soil and rock are broken down and transported by wind, water, or ice. It is a common problem in many areas worldwide, leading to loss of fertile soil, sedimentation in water bodies, and changes in landscapes. Erosion can be accelerated by human activities such as agriculture, deforestation, and construction. Research in erosion focuses on understanding the causes and impacts of erosion, developing strategies to prevent and control erosion, and mitigating its environmental, economic, and social consequences. Studies in erosion often involve field measurements, laboratory experiments, modeling, and monitoring techniques.
