Description

Erosion/deposition (fluvial, glacial or glacio-fluvial) in the biosphere is affected by both geologic and climatic FEPs (see geologic and climatic domains). Erosion/deposition may influences the location, thickness and hydraulic properties of the biosphere aquifer and may significantly affect the radionuclide transport mechanisms in the biosphere over long timescales.
