Ritchie ([email protected]). 1. INTRODUCTION Soil erosion and its subsequent redeposition across the landscape is a major concern around the world. A quarter century of research has shown that measurements of the spatial patterns of radioactive fallout 137Cesium can be used to measure soil erosion and sediment deposition on the landscape. The 137Cs technique is the only technique that can be used to make actual measurements of soil loss and redeposition quickly and efficiently. By understanding the background for using the 137Cs technique to study erosion and sediment deposition on the landscape, scientists can obtain unique information about the landscape that can help them plan techniques to conserve the quality of the landscape. Research should continue on the development of the technique so that it can be used more extensively to understand the changing landscape. On 16 July 1945 at 1230 Greenwich Civil Time, nuclear weapon tests were begun that have released 137Cs and other radioactive nuclides into the environment. Over the 50 years since this first test, much research has been done to understand the movement and fate of 137Cs in the environment. Many of these studies are critical for understanding the application of 137Cs to the study of soil erosion and the subsequent redeposition of the eroded particles on the landscape. This bibliography presents significant background 1 Document last updated on June 20, 2005. This document is a contribution of the USDA-ARS Hydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratory to the International Atomic Energy Agency CRP on AAssess the effectiveness of Soil Conservation techniques for sustainable watershed management and crop production using fallout radionuclides@ (D1-50-08). 2 publications that are useful to studies of erosion and sediment deposition using 137Cs. The bibliography also includes citations of reported studies of the use of 137Cs to measure either erosion or sediment deposition. While the bibliography is extensive, there are certainly publications that we have missed. There has been a rapid increase in publication related to the use of 137Cs related to the erosion and sedimentation (Fig. 1). However, we feel that this bibliography does demonstrate the widespread use and acceptance of 137Cs for measuring erosion and sediment deposition. We hope it will also be useful to those using or preparing to use 137Cs and will help promote the use of 137Cs in erosion and sediment deposition research and measurements. 2.

OR some time past I have, as too rare opportunity offered, F been trying to sol\'e certain structural problems in the Lake District. For the most part this \\'ork has consisted in following certain geological lines across country, particularly the junctions of lavas and tuffs. This has involved or occasioned observations on the volcanic phenomena; and, as the district is readily accessible, of infinite variety, and of unequalled interest among British areas of igneous rocks, I have thought that a considera• tion of the vulcanicity, though as yet imperfectly kno\\'n, and some discussion of the light which it throws on igneous action generally, would be of interest to the Geologists' Associa• tion. The main strip of mixed intrusive and volcanic rocks covers a wild mountain area of over 400 square miles, containing such famous heights as Scawfell and Helvellyn, and surrounding wholly or partly the lakes of Ennerdale, Buttermere, Derwent• water, Ullswater, Thirlmere, \Vastwater, Haweswater, Devoke \Vater, Coniston, Grasmere, Rydal, ElterWater and Winder• mere, with many lesser tarns. Every part is easily visited; the exposures are magnificent and the existence of complex systems uf folding, intersected by deep valleys, enables the various horizons to be examined along numerous lines and some re• construction of their original form and extent to be attempted.
