00:00 uh uh I need to give, you an update as to uh tomorrow

00:11 there was not a consensus. It too much uncertainty about going online.

00:19 we're going to be continuing face to here on set because of that.

00:25 going to change the exams to saturday and how they get you preferred

00:34 friday was okay because I thought we'd virtual. Um Well what students have

00:43 me. Mhm. I'm more than to hear a discussion. They preferred

00:51 friday nights, prepare for exams and examples first thing in the morning and

00:58 think uh if anybody prefers from, me a reason now so we'll be

01:05 Discussing the four crew members. Uh don't have a daughter but in the

01:15 has been more convenient to give you extra time. Would you rather be

01:20 front questions coming? It's the first . Yeah, I think friday and

01:33 started the material before anything. friday. And then that was

01:57 Okay, that works for me. Morning. Okay, we won't have

02:04 exams for single front. Yeah. we will meet here at 8:30 on

02:11 . Uh Block out the box my can last that long because we're really

02:19 in a little later than average. assign I want that option going into

02:28 , wow, I'll always try the recommendations for parties. Uh huh.

02:41 . Yes girl. Oh that was entire tomorrow. I don't know if

02:46 other football games on saturday but I I didn't want to me, you

02:55 about that. There are if the wants Oh, uh huh, that

03:11 be great, good industry, you're to have you Okay. Like a

03:36 , yeah, yeah, yeah. . Uh there was like one giant

03:47 lot. Well, I'm a don't you can hold the tribe,

03:57 have to find out what that I don't know. I'm not sure.

04:02 , okay. Yeah. Okay. . Okay. All right, let's

04:13 uh let's get right, mm. . And I talked about the importance

04:21 of knowing the variables that controls deposition and sentiment spies high on the

04:28 And it's important for a lot of . If you want to model a

04:35 , you need to know sudden If you're interested in pollutant transport,

04:41 need to know some of the but it is often piggyback on the

04:45 , on the backs of particular Uh If you're an engineering geologist,

04:51 might know about soil erosion. Um studies have a different Terminology here.

04:59 reservoir study in this contact is a reservoir, in a reservoir studies how

05:06 it filled with seven. Uh If you want to modify a

05:13 Okay, flood control, you need know that if you're in a more

05:18 sense, if you're interested in the , landscapes, uh global climate

05:23 all sorts of reasons Why you want know about seven supply. And also

05:28 that even though these studies that soil may not be of your specific interest

05:38 models that are used for facing modelling are based on these sets. So

05:47 need to know the source of the you're using and the constraints the assumptions

05:55 limitations. I included this just because really not directly interested in any of

06:02 things. But if you're an environmental , your engineering geologist, these are

06:08 variety of reasons why they also are in sediment studies. And many of

06:16 critical sediment studies that geologists are using published in the engineering literature because the

06:22 are doing a lot of the uh work really. So let's go back

06:31 that sediment budget and talked about where trying to account for the input and

06:39 uh source and sink of sediment and linking the source and say through seven

06:48 system. So we're making observations through to create. Yes, understanding uh

06:59 the sediments drives and where it's being . Now, the reality is,

07:05 we show a model source their sink in between his transportation. It's really

07:13 more segment than that. So, can take a talk about tully and

07:19 erosion and deposition. Not at the of that gully is a colonial uh

07:25 . Uh I like this. this is a source to safe

07:33 Yeah, well, we can also at sources say here where this isn't

07:45 . You can also look at source sink where this might be a girl

07:52 assembling treatment. Mhm. In if we look at this year,

07:57 see there are a variety of I have science. Yeah. The

08:03 in floodplains helpful deep sea. So is the cyst. Both the

08:13 the trajectory it sink. That ultimately you want to look at Now.

08:19 good news is for the last 15 or so. There's been a lot

08:24 case studies of whole drainage systems. we can begin to draw.

08:32 now the rate of sediments fine is of that. Two of the critical

08:43 we get how much material is coming here. What is the relative

08:52 And conversely, if you're looking inside package in the sink and that's one

08:57 the ways we do. We look submarine fan, try to reconstruct that

09:04 to sink. We know the We need to define it by

09:10 And then we need to do something what percent of that law and then

09:17 is ultimately these variables are whose effects day she composition mr tickets the

09:26 Let's just look at one example. North sea sequence development essential.

09:38 Mhm. Changing sort area relief Related on climatically, there's changes in seven

09:48 by the main controls. No, no mention of semen. I didn't

09:54 sea level in but the more important in this particular basis. These changes

10:02 of is that is that again, that include carbonates? Uh the Northeast

10:10 the fault Originals. Okay. Uh I'm talking about this specific area is

10:18 case. Yes, that's the potential faces and deposition system. It affects

10:29 , regressions, flooding surfaces. It the Diack, pretty and of different

10:35 tracks. And what we mean by is that for the same system

10:39 you may have regressive and transgressive. she's a great at the same time

10:47 of variations and said supply. Alluvial force recession, regressions, incised

10:56 These are all things that are influenced seven o'clock. And that just goes

11:04 to this diagram, which I'll refer to. So what are the variables

11:08 control the production set? Mm climate influences rainfall, vegetation and to

11:19 certain extent basil. That could be water level of lake or the water

11:26 is static level of the sea. . Mhm. Tectonics also affects space

11:38 . Two societies can even affect sea managerial relief and sources. These are

11:47 tectonic lee control variables. So we these six barriers that are all important

11:54 terms of controlling sediment supply. And we can add human activity. You

12:02 assume that a petroleum geologist is on about human, certainly the age of

12:11 locks and not going to be But the reason it's important is because

12:18 going to have to make relationships based modern systems. So you've got to

12:25 be able to measuring in removed or the influence of human activity in order

12:33 get back to those variables that influence walks good. Now when we talk

12:38 sediment supply, there's two terms that used interchangeably and they're not the same

12:46 one is the sediment one that's the of sentiments a lot. Typically in

12:53 per year it varies. Yeah. that's different than setting the yield.

13:02 is the senator lubricated area. Now can you think of her modern

13:14 ? Where's you want to know settlement ? You don't know how much sentiments

13:23 . That's the specific point. And by the way when we do this

13:30 often talking about of a basin with spaces. Okay. But it's always

13:37 a point from a point in the said so what's the situation? You

13:45 need to know seven years why? need to notice that? Mhm.

13:56 . Yeah. Maybe you want to how much you from Mississippi.

14:04 If you if you wanted to restrict for specific Grandage basis um it's all

14:11 need Or if you were looking at reservoir son, if you want to

14:17 how fast is this reservoir filling how long will it be function or

14:24 supply? I need those. How sense. But can you think of

14:31 situation where you might want to know much? seven per unit area of

14:37 region. Well that might be more . For example I've got the sediment

14:53 Mississippi and the sediment load for the in the sediment load from the

14:58 santa. If I were only interested those three spots, then said it

15:06 okay. But suppose I wanted to what the very controlling set, what's

15:15 called or the same thing. I to know something about the role of

15:25 in that place for the role of and that base I can't generalize that

15:39 I'm looking at averages of three different . And so what I want to

15:49 is to try to comport ideally look smaller basis sub basis where I can

15:59 the influence of those tectonic and climatic . Once I got that if I'm

16:09 the same then I can extrapolate. can build a new base with the

16:17 percent being urbanized, X percent being X percent being carpeting. So much

16:27 what we need to do in order understand the relative importance. Different variables

16:33 lives on seven years or make sure clear to you. The difference between

16:40 and you have some sense. It become more evidence about why we use

16:46 ones. Let's kill him. You're her. Tell me to square the

16:53 injury. Yeah, granted. Okay, well other dreams use any

17:00 . Hector's baker's square kilometers square Mhm. Okay. Uh So the

17:09 load with 17 transforms, we'll break dead load and suspended. Uh This

17:20 salt station, suspended load is really up into parts intermittent suspension includes uh

17:32 that kind of gets temporarily suspended and then comes back onto the bed and

17:40 is referred to as Washington wash Longwood saying mm is thought to be sediment

17:47 is continuously suspended and as a result never on the bed. Oh,

17:54 when you sample the bit, it's to be after a flood or whatever

17:59 going to be different than the sediment the flood because a portion of that

18:03 going. It was never suspended. mhm We're rethinking that. Talk about

18:11 I like, but the short of is turns out mugs is often not

18:18 as mud, but rather as for . So they're more like saying.

18:27 that has some important implications in terms where you get mud and uh what

18:34 measure now, dissolve load is strictly to be the dissolved irons. And

18:42 it's obviously measured different measures, different to talk about each. Mhm.

18:48 it's not a sediment production. Talking the removal or lowering of the land

18:54 by different processes, mainly weathering in . If so you generate the dissolved

19:03 and you measured by the total design . And that's relatively you could actually

19:09 a generalized measure that by looking at conductivity, If you want to know

19:14 much is carbonate or sulfate or something , then you'll have to do 10,000

19:21 the solid he had TSS which total solids and then total bit.

19:34 we typically met your only suspended So of the sentiment solid set as

19:46 . It's not, this all turns it's usually not get suspended. We're

19:54 talk about how we do that in of the problems with doing that.

20:00 with chemical Dino dish, we're basically at the lowering of the land by

20:07 solution. And that's more specifically by weather with mechanical demonization. We are

20:17 the land risks. You wrote Yeah. So the rate of chemical

20:26 innovations functions planet they may rainfall in the thickness of the soil. And

20:35 has to do with relative supply fresh whether jerry and write that. Obviously

20:46 chemical susceptibility of dissolution for carbonate is to be different than Grant Yeah.

20:55 , when we measure the dissolved material a rear the iron and let's

21:02 we are looking to break it up different Oh, I it's so that

21:10 can get a better feeling for the of the rocks. We usually do

21:16 as normal low river. We don't it during flooding. Why do you

21:24 we focus on low water to measure chemicals I am. They're the

21:32 The chemical composition of the irons in one given that we're doing this in

21:39 to reconstruct the mythology in the Why do you suppose? Well runners

21:49 Taiwan? Our water is more The next more physical more water.

22:03 , maybe you're getting for weather just the action of the water is opposed

22:06 the chemical reactions. Well, you're going to get a whole lot of

22:13 from the running war. You get . Um but it's mainly mechanical.

22:20 is going to give you a dissolution when water sinks and infiltrates within the

22:28 and chemically alters the hot spots Okay. Mhm. Here's the flood

22:49 . Okay, here's rain. Some in some rooms. This eventually some

22:59 back here. And so what we in a blood high in a

23:08 there's really two components of water that that ran all off the surface surface

23:16 that water that came through the groundwater baseball. Mhm. So based flow

23:24 that portion of water discharge that is by the return a graph when we

23:35 Okay, the composition the chemical composition water during flood. We're measuring books

23:46 we measured during well. So we're american the rally and it's the groundwater

23:53 is the process rather the transporting agent which the dissolved ions of transport.

24:03 , the effect of surface flow is dilute that conversation. Yes. So

24:11 least in terms of the total magnitude dissolved love. Yeah. You want

24:17 try to as close as possible Based book. Nice flow or Love

24:24 church. Yeah. Okay. And what allows us to do is

24:35 look at the relative contribution of dissolved in different mythologies within these Carbonates give

24:47 45% worldwide Evaporates 18% yet they they 17% of the R 63 is from

25:02 of the off because they're so relatively dissolved excess. But now that we

25:10 quantify this and begin to use these too, extract ancient basement, solicit

25:20 25% for half an hour, Crystalline . Yes, there are a third

25:27 them. Yeah. So the relative different types of rocks in the drainage

25:38 controls both the type of dissolved load the amount of dissolved. Now let's

25:47 look at three bases or the It's gotta love total Zomba and notice

25:55 looking in hell alone not because we're all amazon this. The reason is

26:03 is because that water is seeping through deeply leached sort. The intense humid

26:15 in the amazon basin has reached Located m in some cases. Um dissolvable

26:26 leaving behind. Not much. So that water is flowing through there,

26:31 been depleted. And the thing is been weathering for a long time.

26:40 you were to look at fresh no leaching it would be pretty

26:48 Uh the Ganges, it's not a mode. And that actually mainly is

26:53 contribution carbonates an associate the rio grande in texas. If you ignore irrigation

27:03 that's that's not an easy thing to now. But the right before tradition

27:09 had a lot of this, although carbonates in the airplanes in the dream

27:14 agent that writes flirtatious and charming. . Right. So total dissolved songs

27:23 dissolved look uh very much dependent on climate and Mhm. Tech stocks.

27:34 let's look at the amazon a little . It's kind of interesting to see

27:39 if we look at the relative called of the same delamination, the

27:50 It's really quite on 100 years. down in the lower cheer on

28:00 Uh huh. I mean now it out most it's all over the

28:17 And but the point here is that hard belief at the end Is making

28:29 7 uh is increasing now. It's of a good it they rich

28:44 But you're down here are so Yet they the area for mechanical work

28:54 also being influenced our dissolved set. And I can't reconcile this for you

29:04 now except to say I interpret this they dissolve a surrogate for suspended sentence

29:17 this particular example. Because what is of the amazon is it? Most

29:24 the suspended sentence is also coming through Andes. And what the takeaway here

29:32 that relative relief is actually hugely important that important vary in terms of controlling

29:42 sense and that relative relief is very a function of technology. And we

29:50 this. Um Mechanical communication. That's is mainly to mechanical weathering. It's

30:01 difficult to measure. Um There are ways we do measure, we measure

30:07 sediment discharge in a river and gauging . We measure short term accumulation.

30:17 right. Like in a reservoir or . We can look at Cosma genic

30:25 derived innovation rates. I'm not going be getting into this but And we

30:30 look at Uh huh. Great Oh, package is upset. Now

30:43 measure things mainly they for model short um river load reservoirs. Uh We

30:57 look at sentiment volumes here. Mm . What? How to get to

31:05 ? Really? Not that either packages or somehow extracting. What was their

31:15 decision. Trying to reconstruct the three surface either by thermal chronology and cars

31:26 ISIS are more literally in some cases morphine criteria. Not to.

31:35 I'm gonna focus on, first of , river sediment lose. And what

31:41 you measure here? And they also picking up dissolved sediments and good

31:49 Okay. Now, the problem is there's not a great relationship between there's

31:59 expended and so we're going to treat as different even though the Andes I

32:06 amazon is ambiguous. Uh We're going say we're going to ignore any Correlation

32:13 the two. Yeah. And so going to stand, problem is

32:19 The discharge of anything is a measure the volume types of velocity.

32:28 Uh And the problem is that The changes I hear decrease, restore

32:37 . So you literally have to sit sam example in the street package years

32:47 the river cross section and then some a lot of work. Yeah,

32:55 you do it because once you eventually enough water discharge and seven discharge relationships

33:05 can Plot relationships on the 7th 18 routinely measure water discharge and engaging

33:20 We rarely collect suspended sediment. is to official. So if we've

33:29 it enough to get this relationship, just forget a computer we said if

33:37 know this time allows us to create suspended discharge budget, if you for

33:49 particular gauging station now notice they have very but it's all for yellow forgiven

34:00 border of value to us. It . Now the problem is uh and

34:12 average that's pretty close to the The problem is that's what we

34:15 Well typically say ah it's about 10 that's what we'll do most often.

34:25 the problem is it's very so we measure bed load traps literally trapping sediment

34:34 the bottom. We can the empirical better or differentials and those are often

34:42 we use in our investment models. as you'll see Which one right is

34:49 the story. This is where longer studies would be because we can look

34:54 the sediment in the Houston, We pour it and we can see what

34:59 of that seven is said and the thing with the demonization generations. We

35:11 do this right off. There's a of trouble. You're trying to put

35:15 on the bottom of the bed. all sorts of interference. But we

35:19 do it because we've got to try verify some of these other models.

35:24 so here is what we're trying to . We're looking at a theoretical equipment

35:33 were talking against and I think what can say is I want to be

35:39 just don't fit that particular yet. we're gonna try to make a

35:48 we offered rely on these a an . Mhm. I'll know here that

35:56 is the Einstein equation. It's not is his son hans. And hans

36:06 said he didn't go into physics because wanted to go into sedimentation where he

36:11 a lot more complicated and more questions solve that may have been far or

36:17 . I'm not sure which uh, a reservoir study. You go in

36:23 and we measure the Lion Court determined percent. Yeah, we do

36:29 We really 10% is pretty bad Maybe a great average. He's pretty

36:37 number to use very specifically 1% amazon 85% in the open. So we

36:49 , this is one of the big weaknesses of our sediment story, calculating

36:59 amount of that. Now there are problems. What about the rare

37:06 Remember that For the most part we're at suspended sediment, What it is

37:11 um 2030, 50 times at a station. Well, what about the

37:18 that only happens once every few Maybe once every. In terms of

37:24 , you may have missed it. may have been so high you didn't

37:26 to be patient on the average, the sediment is transported during a few

37:34 . One case of half to 718 was over seven days. Yeah,

37:40 sediment in three days from previous seven . The big flood events are when

37:45 of the sediment is transported yet. not when we may. So we

37:51 forced to extrapolate that curve. That curves higher and higher. District is

37:56 extent to which that's accurate. You , you're not sure. Another thing

38:02 find is that if you look at first single seven christian, this is

38:13 wildfires. Uh, with wherever let's say 50 20 200 Year Events

38:24 More. If there's been a wildfire will significantly increase the discharge and wildfires

38:36 happened and will happen. Um, in the ancient, it's probably more

38:44 tried to extract the influence mandate on lee influenced awful. A lot of

38:54 is one of the factors tended not take account. There's a good article

39:00 death 2019 talking about variety of things humans do. These are all important

39:07 your job as a geologist is to to predict the environmental impact of changing

39:15 use. It's also of interest to petroleum geologists in trying to remove these

39:23 in order to make a model that applicable when the ancient Yeah, deforestation

39:34 increases discharged by up to an order magnitude. Yeah. Uh locally Land

39:43 change could be up to 1000 So what we see Agriculture, 50

39:53 erosion, drop them saying, what's million one study looking at already reservoir

40:06 upon study forgiven drains basis. When went from former army, It left

40:15 200 are you? No, it back. The farms were abandoned.

40:27 that suburbs? He Yeah. Inaction on concrete. So we see tremendous

40:39 , temporal variations and set in the with with changing land use.

40:46 if we look at the wang he , yellow river, not much change

40:53 . Big increases big decrease. This when we began through the chinese farm

41:03 nurses made silk easily eroded, lot it can be transported huge increase the

41:14 , basically erosion, remediation, we're uh trump changes and also for investors

41:22 games. So what we see here a temporal decrease in both discharged and

41:35 , telling now the decrease in water says that it's more than just better

41:47 . It says that it's also So we're also seeing the combined mm

41:59 agriculture and reduced water because it In fact, if we look at

42:08 mode as a function of elevation rivers here agriculture soil. So we want

42:24 extract, remove that from the Again, the effective relief. That's

42:31 dominant factor here, Not how much is coming in. We need to

42:40 this to get to this before they each. Yeah, dredging damns.

42:49 of these are influences. We see we look at uh hoover dam,

42:56 at the decrease in sediment this If we look at the change in

43:01 , look after 19 7, This 100% with zero. This is actually

43:12 from 19 cents. All of these . Billions of colorado. Yeah,

43:22 looking at 80% more than So. are huge issues with respect to not

43:35 understanding the sentiment budget of the but also how they affect coastal stability

43:43 river stability. So much of our with coastal erosion is because of the

43:49 of Slovene set. Yeah. Remember said earlier that if you look at

43:58 sentiment budget and look for sinks, are sinks everyone. The biggest thing

44:05 be a submarine fan or adult sense plan. Mm About a quarter of

44:15 Senate on the amazon threat. When experience. Yeah, up to half

44:26 of the 70 80%. That's the . Okay, so we need to

44:33 this partitioning of trapping both human induced in geologic. So that's where we

44:45 begin looking at different tectonic cities and introduces the concept of the sediment

44:54 That's the percent of sediment traps. that was that number is that.

45:03 if you look at This kind of trailing is one thing seven is telling

45:11 not your face where the technology change we have most of his body.

45:26 get down to the coastal funny wonder is often notice 57 more they

45:39 sustains them mormon result ship and there's bypass read down in here. Deputy

45:49 . So we had three cents which the ultimate set all for real.

45:56 wanted to preserve this one. Now would be different if we were at

46:06 convergent ocean Hollywood margie. We're still have probably sitting here but it presented

46:20 ocean of here we got for our for the seventh. Then there's his

46:29 transfer down into the big change. of course it's being segregated within more

46:37 pieces of that summary positive. Now also already back up that's what the

46:49 side it's not going into the ocean but it is of interest and here's

47:00 continent, continent again here the whole forward basically this is a form and

47:12 I noticed the family the implicated trust this occurs of In 400 back hard

47:23 and also in them along you have bases trump what is malange but Malaj

47:37 is the highly contorted settlement that's called seduction zone. So there's a lot

47:47 physical uh stretching and deformation. Uh huh prison area said it's not illustrated

48:00 to hear the case. And so sentiment is what you get in the

48:06 coast range. The California coast range actually a prosthesis. Um mm This

48:16 therefore that's a different thing now. tectonics. But what about time?

48:26 just take one spot and look at every time. Mhm. We are

48:33 now in an interglacial periods. A of ways. That's a long.

48:39 . Oh my God. Until we looking a little older. So what

48:44 see is your inflation particularly where the impact they say most itself with the

48:55 relationship a little bit by glacial food . No, as we begin the

49:04 dig negotiation, you begin to have that material. So you get this

49:13 influx and racial food. Meanwhile the transport is getting less and less now

49:23 this group. During the glacial and video issues we got a lot of

49:29 we work because the sediment is Yeah, that's what And we have

49:38 . Now this story could be the Mississippi river basically records this whole store

49:51 protection. Uh huh. They early seem too late. Twice the singing

50:01 of the Mississippi in the middle part Mississippi great extreme vision and then today

50:09 moving in. So clearly climatic change changed The amount and type of segment

50:17 seven sources. So let's just go to amazon race and let's say that

50:27 were concerned with my scene uh, of the continental shelf. I mean

50:36 continental slope of the amazon my scene . So you want to know what's

50:41 good analogy? Well, it kind depends on when I was looking at

50:51 or say late glacial maximum or the . Okay, here, here are

51:02 places or send is seven accumulates one that you are the Amazon mega

51:14 These mega fans are basically a type positional system that's forming in the foreland

51:22 for four. Also before this, , for something storage, particularly their

51:33 . You have some stories within it . And he had story she thinks

51:40 possible places where for me now you at them all solid basically you see

51:54 mr Policy. What stream and almost of it in the summer. This

52:02 a high standard. If you look it during the long standing, it

52:08 out more fun of all of we Angela a little bit can notice that

52:19 had, let's get down here because got in C during the most simple

52:28 that sermon sitting exams. So we delta deposition, high stand fan

52:37 Yeah. So what is the best it turns out? But in the

52:43 ? Uh, yes, analogous system actually low stances when we got a

52:51 of deposition, these mega fans and not because it's glaciation, but because

53:01 is the concrete active and it has narrow shelf, You don't have this

53:08 . We'll be back and forth because should extended situations. So basic analogy

53:15 knock them off installation. Okay. settlements gets into the world oceans,

53:25 , little dead by eyes less by that's my coastal rouge there, will

53:33 talked about saM talked about before. what we do is try to quantify

53:39 controls. Well, total now seven increase for the increased size is basically

53:50 Except it's not a very good So maybe we could do better if

54:01 looked at the yield. No, no better. In fact, what

54:08 see here is that the yield decreases bigger, bigger base. Can you

54:16 of a reasonable the yield per unit ? It's less. If we look

54:23 bigger and bigger amounts many people turn . Well, what do you mean

54:29 jerks and that's you're saying the same , you get less more. Why

54:35 the percent be less? Is there upper limit on how much can actually

54:47 ? No rather is upset. That's think about delivery rations. What does

54:53 Rachel mean? I justified mhm is 2% sediment trapped. The bigger

55:19 drainage base, The more places there to trap the scent and so that

55:28 representing the increased storage of six that available in an increasingly large area.

55:38 basins. We talked about the inter basis the mega fan foreland basis.

55:46 are all things that are causing the now, why the scatter everything goes

55:55 to nothing. And what this says area is not a very good predictor

56:02 17 year. There must be other within that drainage base that's affecting the

56:09 amount sent. No, I talk the delivery ratio and decrease. Help

56:17 increasing area. There's less and less makes it through. Okay, I'm

56:23 out the type of basis. Said , uh don't normally have to consider

56:28 type of the basis that it Absolutely. That's because that is in

56:35 why there's such a scattered. So we're gonna do is we're gonna,

56:40 mean, I think it's obviously I'm , we're going to start looking at

56:47 . We have start looking at climate they send their so we're beginning to

56:55 there are components of our model that to be pretty specific and this is

57:02 to june uh part of the reason that there is a geographic variation in

57:13 and that in turn affects climate. the climatic variations, the role of

57:21 in controlling not only the amount of , but the amount of sediment sediment

57:26 huge. So, let's just look this from a global point of view

57:31 a minute. Okay, we've got sense that there is a site

57:38 there is a a consistent pattern. air circulation. We're cold air sinks

57:48 the polls and rise, warm air in the equator and there, it

57:55 drops down and goes up top down . So we've got a series of

58:02 and falling air masses in the human of the equator, air is

58:10 We got a lot of rain At 30°. Air is dropping is drawing not

58:18 rain in the polar regions. Water , the air is dropping is

58:26 not much rain where the converging polar , uh, converges a lot of

58:37 . So what we see is a for a latitude change, precipitation

58:50 precipitation. Mechatronics very long, semi , very no in the region.

59:03 . And polar desert. Now, only is there the attitudinal variation in

59:13 , but there's also a attitudinal variation temperature and vegetation. Just you.

59:21 pretty much just decrease, mm vegetation tends to spike. Yeah.

59:31 the little green here. So high temperature, lots of education.

59:42 vegetation is falling for biomass. Two West evaporation is not parallel to

59:53 evaporation is out the latest and Cindy and the reason is no plans.

60:03 actually not assigned trucks even though it work. And then the So if

60:14 were to look at what's going on terms of the soul language, the

60:21 songs are down here. Almost no in the area hinder soils. What

60:36 it? Yeah, if you look the composition. So yeah, he

60:46 unmodified slacking Crs here we go into gorilla 98 or 9 11,

60:57 What we're doing is we're looking at stripped reached. In fact, we

61:06 get that extensive reaching hit and Okay. When you get to the

61:16 and the parents in europe, which us something about the, the total

61:23 of salts. Yes. What's an of the temperate regions? Example where

61:29 are example 30 To 63 North. Fuller air come himself. Mm the

61:49 trade winds suddenly with more get get front coming man, this shit.

62:00 passage of both is mhm mhm basically cold air solar cell. BG the

62:14 air response. So this is the founder yesterday of course it moves up

62:23 because gesturing follow gesture blinds. So kind of looking at average position,

62:35 prevailing west, which are coming in the northwest control, but it always

62:42 to as it gets down to get passenger. We are. So there

62:48 something you would think there'd be similar to the south of us.

62:53 So next in Mexico. Northern Yeah. Uh, and it's better

63:02 the sub profits. Uh, it's little hard I heard because there's effective

63:10 as well, but the chihuahua is a desert and if you go

63:17 south texas, it's almost in fact was a huge sand, didn't feel

63:24 . Hundreds of spark along hundreds of miles in south texas. During the

63:29 information. People, it was very . And my time to get into

63:34 is a desk at least the northern go into southern Mexico into Guatemala.

63:41 , it's getting better. Is there party trucks? Mhm. So keep

63:53 in months. I'm gonna go to improbable 200 titles. Work north of

64:03 stars. Tundra is the area basically remarkable. The concentration desire for hires

64:17 energy can lowest tropics. That seems but the amount um okay,

64:34 Yes. As great or greater and . That is because we have our

64:41 . So in general, even though don't have a lot of there's also

64:49 because extremely cheap. What is there we get a lot of it

65:00 Uh specific. Uh huh. We very little getting out. Mhm.

65:10 talk most of the there's a dissolved . Most of the irons. All

65:18 . In the arab region trapped within creative sorts. Exactly. So the

65:24 . S the total dissolved solids They're measured in the rivers.

65:33 But um trying to look at low well, very of you're looking at

65:47 tall woman in a bizarre father Uh huh. Beaters of second first

65:57 this is not flashy. Um maybe easier to look at stepping out

66:07 So resolved 70. Why? Mm . Uh basically it is reflected specific

66:19 , rainfall combined with the weathering induced . Great chemical being asian glory of

66:31 land is the portion the Republic. , I'm not understanding why I'm not

66:42 . Why there's such a spike in Yeah, is it just the

66:46 The human temperate despite here, the temperate in here. Well, it

66:56 to do with this is an area ordinary raise. Come on. Even

67:07 water example transport. See how published sparks this is all of them.

67:22 how we used to have. So this bit's fine grain, his

67:33 in big spike which is resolving. by uh total Presumptions. I

67:42 So you have a lot of solids the waters of the semi eric because

67:48 haven't been bleached. Okay, that . And so it just kind of

67:56 this much global weathering and skipped and in Canada. Is that global or

68:07 model really fix this? Stupid oh . No, here remain. So

68:21 is a significant impact uh sierre in cordillera, the walkies and the Andes

68:33 modify declined again. With the good is we can reconstruct them in the

68:40 markets. We actually have global climate now or the quotations And for other

68:48 that go into modeling a seven production ? Let's look at three different said

68:58 problems intent pick So we all started . Never, never is being in

69:16 from the source. So last six unique place because when loading a soil

69:32 a lot of dissolved. Now the savings in the temperate region. It's

69:47 so all things equal their day and just from the soul. So getting

69:59 played. I told him in the here basically. No. So so

70:09 definition, whatever erosion you're getting is to be derived from the parent jury

70:17 where Uh huh grow solved dominantly Yeah. So if you look at

70:32 so what that sale tells me is climate is a huge very in terms

70:38 preparing the drainage base. No for center. Now the other thing we

70:48 is the effect of allegations. This stripping out the effect of agriculture.

70:58 we have a smoke dominant area, of the land produced 73% sent.

71:12 that's cute. Yeah. And so one of our variables and whatever equation

71:18 use better include relief and relief is a part of grain is your.

71:25 how did that scatter was different kinds of that scattered was different relief.

71:33 now if you look at this look at the they are precipitation.

71:44 . Now take this curve. This is a dynamic a player moral

71:57 we can't really represented. So this on this is the decreasing lee from

72:08 li and what it says it is highest amount of sediment view is where

72:21 got high relief. Mhm accepted. , it gets less and less.

72:32 with heart rate as you go. . Yeah. And the tropics and

72:42 of these things. The senate will as we decrease. So what we

72:51 is basically the impact of climate, is serving. Thanks, Henry.

73:01 there's a few caveats here and I'm gonna get into details subdivision. Uh

73:10 . Different types of material. what this gives you is a quick

73:17 said, where do you get the contribution? How? Uh huh.

73:24 funds, relief impacts the oh seven . How to say it again?

73:34 , they were relative relative relief within dream space. So is that from

73:40 lowest point to the highest point? . Mhm. Okay. Uh that

73:47 an interesting comment we had here. models are highly based towards low

73:57 Increasingly we're going so high latitude The arctic is especially ironic with uh

74:08 hot zone. Uh So what this is we need really began to look

74:15 at high latitude case studies. I for four years on the Yukon delta

74:22 last it was a very different kind river delta system than anything else is

74:31 anything else. So there is this balance. We know the climate is

74:37 . We don't have as many field . We've got pretty good satellite

74:44 but field studies or something else, limited number of rivers. Right?

74:51 Well, yes, but it's not the rivers is the whole artists,

74:58 sister. If you look at the that are draining into the north

75:03 But what you want to do is want to know what is, what

75:06 the processes that are forming de positional within an hour or so. And

75:16 only one river that was, has studied as the little called it.

75:20 you got the Mackenzie and a whole of others as well. You got

75:23 Alina and other deltas going into this the Siberia. So there's, there's

75:29 lot of smaller rivers as well as rivers that are in total controlling the

75:37 huh. Yeah, deposition of fishies the north slope where the arctic region

75:44 said that we have very few detailed . Yeah. Now we're in the

75:52 of relief and empty. We're using as a surrogate for expectation. I

76:01 that's because it's here too. Mm a certain to get Probably what it

76:15 is that a prison relationship is tighter the previous one. Uh Our spider

76:24 . In fact, this is an when we're very but what we're doing

76:34 and I say now, um or the last 20 years of serving a

76:41 of 15, We've been using a that's developed in about 25 cents.

76:50 takes into account and therefore allows you extract other, vary variables other than

76:57 region temperature. You know, it's geologic and human acts. They come

77:05 to think of b racial roots mythology in place, traffic, fish on

77:16 soil would have to be so, by looking at sediment yield values and

77:25 types of bases. Yeah, with racial erosion and bedrocks and different

77:31 Different human activities. We can come with the fourth one. This is

77:42 much state of the art. We're to predict sediment input based on these

77:50 and it looks something like that. . Our squares .95 looking a lot

77:57 . The best mom got. But is one exception. Um Well there's

78:04 couple of caveats I guess. It is designed for I think. And

78:11 sentiment is their ceiling. Yeah. done this to make better. It

78:18 really tell you much about what's being in delta wrestler foot. Okay.

78:27 can happen. Work your way around . Um It's also it uses water

78:36 . The problem is trying to reconstruct discharge ancient system. We can do

78:45 in areas the energy that uh basis . There's a riding waves. We

78:54 reconstruct basic temperature. My high end . Climatic temperature sensitive fossil But from

79:05 of this charges to function not only area, the climate spoiled. And

79:12 what the regional deportment did the just here problem is if you keep that

79:23 . Uh huh. Okay, Compare contrast .8 you really did get a

79:32 of skin. But if you stop based on quiet then you begin to

79:46 very good college everything there. marriages. Mhm. Because it's just

79:56 there's not but if you if you at their or to find it.

80:07 Children when uh huh Society. Presuming not in an area set. This

80:17 the model. You'll use two So for example in this palm

80:25 Okay. Trying to re control delta . You're getting water this using water

80:35 10. This journalist. Mm This is uh also look in the

80:44 level. Uh what did in this ? This was what they were trying

80:51 reproduce. These are the box. variables for seven of supplies because this

81:01 the model. So they were able reconstruct the existence and master using

81:14 Yeah. Now I'm gonna skip There's really three different ways we've been

81:21 basin mark. One is basically equal . The variables here. Another is

81:36 reconstruct a larger scale and family one actually looks at hey ideology of a

81:49 . The first one is on you're for. What it really says is

81:56 we know the drainage base area at three water discharge temperature, we can

82:11 the second matter. Oh is uh , that's just the very information.

82:19 second reason is related to source the market that have tried to relate.

82:29 God. Sad volume. It's lonely the academy. Megadeal morphing relationships.

82:41 has a good article in that I have time to deal with. Um

82:47 needs the things that image God, problem is there's a lot of inheritance

83:00 . But these marks. The 3rd was our fault. And for full

83:08 thinking about it as a place where don't want. He said uh right

83:19 most of the souls you see it insane. So we're looking at trump's

83:29 major river stream just before it begins split out two adults. And there's

83:37 whole bunch of things that you need know about that river and it's basically

83:45 is referred to is paleo hydrology. reconstructing the water and sediment discharge from

83:56 , as you might expect, some those things are easier to figure.

84:05 I'm not going to get into Now there's two article here, it

84:12 about the various issues with this. real popular in the sense that a

84:19 of people are using it, ponch using it. Um They mhm.

84:27 will talk about this more when I'm about lego set when we get

84:35 Okay, but this is a third . And I'm going to end with

84:42 example here, which is just one study. This is for the paleo

84:49 . Willcox in texas. Okay. at the seven coming insists bill.

85:01 , source the set his beef board a monte Carlo simulation to look at

85:13 within the various Uh huh Because reality , you know, we know the

85:20 is this tough remarks. What's the of sediment probabilistic distribution of each of

85:30 were so you're buying Montevallo distribution use and you get a part of our

85:41 And this heart of rooms in 2018 Really very nice. Article 84 and

85:51 huge Source to six and predicted the type and volume. Then the ancient

86:02 . Yeah. So I'm going to their and we'll stop recording for electric

86:10 . Keep
