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.

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).

Quarrying and Other Minerals

However, it should be mentioned that researchers only became interested in the problems of geomorphic impact at a rather late stage of evolution of these sciences. It is well illustrated by Fig. 9.1 that research on landscape alterations caused by raw material extraction only dates back to the 1960s.
