摘要
In this paper,the authors use geological and remote sensing data as well as the Geographic Information System(GIS)technique to analyze erosions in the Luochuan loess tableland and the Heimu Gully.The authors can see that the recent erosion rate is 16 times greater than that in the natural past in the investigating place.Human activity such as land use and destruction of vegetation may exacerbate the loess erosion.
