Geomorphology is currently in a period of resurgence as we seek to explain the diversity,
origins and dynamics of terrain on the Earth and other planets in an era of increased …

Perseverance rover reveals an ancient delta-lake system and flood deposits at Jezero crater, Mars

N Mangold, S Gupta, O Gasnault, G Dromart… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Observations from orbital spacecraft have shown that Jezero crater on Mars contains a

Prolonged seismically induced erosion and the mass balance of a large earthquake

N Hovius, P Meunier, CW Lin, H Chen, YG Chen… - Earth and Planetary …, 2011 - Elsevier
Large earthquakes deform the Earth's surface and drive topographic growth in the frontal
zones of mountain belts. They also induce widespread mass wasting, reducing relief. The …

Mineralogical and chemical variability of fluvial sediments 2. Suspended-load silt (Ganga–Brahmaputra, Bangladesh)

E Garzanti, S Andó, C France-Lanord, P Censi… - Earth and Planetary …, 2011 - Elsevier
Sediments carried in suspension represent a fundamental part of fluvial transport.
Nonetheless, largely because of technical problems, they have been hitherto widely …

Grain-size dependence of sediment composition and environmental bias in provenance studies

E Garzanti, S Andò, G Vezzoli - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2009 - Elsevier
This article investigates both experimentally and theoretically the compositional changes
associated with textural effects and hydraulic sorting during sediment transport and …

Tectonics, fracturing of rock, and erosion

P Molnar, RS Anderson… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
We argue that by fracturing rock, not by raising it relative to base level, tectonics plays its
most important role in causing rapid incision of valleys and rapid erosion of hillslopes …

Predominant floodplain over mountain weathering of Himalayan sediments (Ganga basin)

M Lupker, C France-Lanord, V Galy, J Lavé… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2012 - Elsevier

The problem of predicting the size distribution of sediment supplied by hillslopes to rivers

LS Sklar, CS Riebe, JA Marshall, J Genetti, S Leclere… - Geomorphology, 2017 - Elsevier
Sediments link hillslopes to river channels. The size of sediments entering channels is a key
control on river morphodynamics across a range of scales, from channel response to human …

[HTML][HTML] The role of infrequently mobile boulders in modulating landscape evolution and geomorphic hazards

CM Shobe, JM Turowski, R Nativ, RC Glade… - Earth-Science …, 2021 - Elsevier
A landscape's sediment grain size distribution is the product of, and an important influence
on, earth surface processes and landscape evolution. Grains can be large enough that the …
