Rates of regional denudation in the United States
Abstract
Data, in large part collected since World War II, allow a recalculation of the rates of regional erosion in the United States. These data indicate a rate of denudation for the United States as a whole of 2.4 in./1000 years, or about twice that of older estimates. The most rapid rate, 6.5 in./1000 years, is recorded from the Colorado drainage. The slowest rate, 1.5 in./1000 years, is found in the Columbia basin. Other drainage areas and their rates are the Pacific slopes, California, 3.6 in/1000 years; the western Gulf of Mexico, 2.1 in./1000 years; the Mississippi River watershed, 2.0 in/1000 years; the South Atlantic and the eastern Gulf of Mexico, 1.6 in/1000 years, and the North Atlantic, 1.9 in/1000 years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
