“…5B) indicates an increase in the frequency and violence of flooding in the 14 th -15 th centuries, which may have been connected with deforestation and a rise in precipitation (Dotterweich 2008, Bünt-gen 2011. It is correlated with dendrochronologically dated sequences of tree trunks fallen or cut during the floods in the 14 th century in Starunia, in the Velyky Lukavets River valley in the Ukrainian Carpathians (Alexandrowicz et al 2005).…”

“…In the temperate climatic zone of the northern Carpathians foreland, the problem of the relationship between the influence of climate changes (changes in precipitation) and the impact of economic activity on soil erosion and fluvial deposition is a matter of great interest to geomorphologists, palaeobotanists and archaeologists (Wasylikowa et al 1985, Starkel 1987, 2005a, Kalicki 1996a, Kruk et al 1996, Berglund 2003, Dobrzańska, Kalicki 2004, Dotterweich 2008, Gębica et al 2008, 2013, Twardy 2011, Klimek 2012, Starkel et al 2012, Superson 2012. However, it is very difficult to distinguish the influence of climate changes from the anthropogenic factors (Kalicki 1996b, Starkel 2006.…”

Records of human activity in valleys of the Upper Vistula River catchment and the Upper Dniester River catchment in the area of the Eastern Carpathian Foreland are synchronic and date back to the Neolithic Period. They include alluvia and colluvia in small valleys, linked with local downpours, as well as changes in large valleys, where flooding is reflected in modifications to river channels and an acceleration in the deposition of overbank facies. Among these periods are phases determined climatically (5 th -7 th centuries AD) and those reflecting human activity (1 st -3 rd centuries AD), as well as phases recording the coincidence of both factors (middle Neolithic, 10 th -11 th centuries AD and the Little Ice Age). The most distinct changes leading to transformation in valley slopes and bottoms are linked with the coincidence of humid climatic phases and periods of increased human impact.

“…Soil erosion has several on-site and off-site impacts on the environment: (1) loss of fertile soil with important consequences on agriculture [1]; (2) silting of reservoirs that reduces the storage capacity and interferes with dam operations [2][3][4]; (3) migration of pollution in which sediment transport is considered a means of transport for contaminants [5,6]; (4) increase of flood risk [7] and debris flow events [8]; and (5) geomorphic evolution of river beds [9] with possible impacts on the surrounding structures. At the basin scale, sediment production is the result of the complex interaction between different geomorphic processes: splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion, bank erosion as well as mass movements [10].…”

Monitoring Riverbank Erosion in Mountain Catchments Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning

Sediment yield is a key factor in river basins management due to the various and adverse consequences that erosion and sediment transport in rivers may have on the environment. Although various contributions can be found in the literature about sediment yield modeling and bank erosion monitoring, the link between weather conditions, river flow rate and bank erosion remains scarcely known. Thus, a basin scale assessment of sediment yield due to riverbank erosion is an objective hard to be reached. In order to enhance the current knowledge in this field, a monitoring method based on high resolution 3D model reconstruction of riverbanks, surveyed by multi-temporal terrestrial laser scanning, was applied to four banks in Val Tartano, Northern Italy. Six data acquisitions over one year were taken, with the aim to better understand the erosion processes and their triggering factors by means of more frequent observations compared to usual annual campaigns. The objective of the research is to address three key questions concerning bank erosion: "how" erosion happens, "when" during the year and "how much" sediment is eroded. The method proved to be effective and able to measure both eroded and deposited volume in the surveyed area. Finally an attempt to extrapolate basin scale volume for bank erosion is presented.

“…Thorndycraft & Benito, 2006a;Macklin et al, 2010). Research on this topic has also been conducted as part of LUCIFS/PAGES-Focus 4, which also focuses on the Holocene, but largely concentrates on sediment fluxes (Dotterweich, 2008;Brown et al, 2009;Hoffmann et al, 2010). The clear aim is to isolate the climate signal from anthropogenic influences related to deforestation and the development of agricultural practices.…”
