Numerical Modelling of Sediment Generation KU Leuven
A better understanding of sediment generation is crucial for development of fully integrated source-to-sink models of Earth surface dynamics. The sediment-generation model should incorporate chemical weathering and formation of authigenic minerals, as well as mechanical weathering. The latter causes disaggregation of rocks along mineral interfaces, and accounts for size reduction of primary crystals (inter- and intracrystal breakage, ...
