TLDR
In this article, an attempt is made to derive an empirical law of bed-load transport based on recent experimental data and the results and interpretation of tests already made known in former publications of the Laboratory for Hydraulic Research and Soil Mechanics at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich.
Abstract
In the following paper, a brief summary is first of all given of the results and interpretation of tests already made known in former publications of the Laboratory for Hydraulic Research and Soil Mechanics at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. After that, an attempt is made to derive an empirical law of bed-load transport based on recent experimental data. We desire to state expressly that by bed-load transport is meant the movement of the solid material rolling or jumping along the bed of a river; transport of matter in suspension is not included.

Singularly perturbed degenerated parabolic equations and application to seabed morphodynamics in tided environment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors build models for short-term, mean-term and long-term dynamics of dune and megariple morphodynamics, which are models that are degenerated parabolic equations which are moreover, singularly perturbed.

A coupled atmosphere–hydrosphere global climate model of early Mars: A ‘cool and wet’ scenario for the formation of water channels

TL;DR: The results of a newly developed 3-dimensional Paleo Martian Global Climate Model (PMGCM) assuming a CO2/H2O/H 2 atmosphere under the "Faint Young Sun" condition (with a solar luminosity of ~75% of the current value) for surface pressures between 0.5 and 2.4 bar as discussed by the authors.
