Modification of bedrock surfaces by glacial abrasion and quarrying …

This is because the relative importance of abrasion and quarrying as geomorphic agents, and therefore bed roughness, is controlled by fracture spacing (Iverson, 2012; Anderson, 2014). Hardness and joint spacing also exert a strong control on subglacial erosional landforms and the mechanisms that form them (Krabbendam and Glasser, 2011).

Geomorphic and environmental effects of instream gravel …

In analyzing the effects of instream gravel mining, a sediment budget analysis sheds light on the relative magnitude of gravel supply, transport and extraction. Computer models of sediment transport are simplifications of complex natural processes; they can be useful components of a sediment budget analysis but should not be relied upon alone.
