In the Southern French Alps, the black marls formation
covers a large area and is highly susceptible to weathering

In the Southern French Alps, the black marls formation
covers a large area and is highly susceptible to weathering
and erosion. It has a badlands topography and is subject to
high solid transport, bringing high sediment yield
downstream and silting up reservoirs. Many studies have
been carried out in southern Europe and North Africa
evaluating sediment yield from this type of basin. However,
most of these studies provide information on the average
annual rate and only a few studies focus on the sediment
response to a specific rainfall event (Canton et al., 2001).
Scale is important in the study of erosion processes and
quantification of sediment production (de Vente and
Poesen, 2005). This paper focuses on erosion at the slope
and gully spatial scale and at the event temporal scale. [--]
