چکیده انگلیسی
G.K. Gilbert's (1917) classic monograph, Hydraulic-Mining Débris in the Sierra Nevada, is described and put into the context of modern geomorphic knowledge. The emphasis here is on large-scale applied fluvial geomorphology, but other key elements-e.g., coastal geomorphology-are also briefly covered. A brief synopsis outlines key elements of the monograph, followed by discussions of highly influential aspects including the integrated watershed perspective, the extreme example of anthropogenic sedimentation, computation of a quantitative, semidistributed sediment budget, and advent of sediment-wave theory. Although Gilbert did not address concepts of equilibrium and grade in much detail, the rivers of the northwestern Sierra Nevada were highly disrupted and thrown into a condition of nonequilibrium. Therefore, concepts of equilibrium and grade-for which Gilbert's early work is often cited-are discussed. Gilbert's work is put into the context of complex nonlinear dynamics in geomorphic systems and how these concepts can be used to interpret the nonequilibrium systems described by Gilbert. Broad, basin-scale studies were common in the period, but few were as quantitative and empirically rigorous or employed such a range of methodologies as PP105. None demonstrated such an extreme case of anthropogeomorphic change.
