Description

Erosion is a process which will cause significant changes in the topography and thus also in the local and regional hydrology and the biosphere. The extent of erosion depends on uplift, climate, human activities and lithology in the region of interest. Erosion may also lead to decompaction of Opalinus Clay, which eventually may affect Opalinus Clay properties.
