Capturing and quantifying the world in three dimensions (x, y, z) using light detection and
ranging (lidar) technology drives fundamental advances in the Earth and Ecological …

The present review paper is an attempt to summarize quantitative evidence of Late
Cenozoic changes in topographic relief. Different meanings of the word “relief”, as it is …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Fractures are discontinuities in rock that can be exploited by erosion. Fractures regulate
cohesion, profoundly affecting the rate, style, and location of Earth surface processes. By …

Steep mountain catchments typically experience large sediment pulses from hillslopes
which are stored in headwater channels and remobilized by debris-flows or bedload …

In steep channels, debris flows are known to dramatically increase in volume under the
effect of channel erosion. However, the critical factors controlling channel erosion by debris …

The combination of structural data from the source area and descriptive data from the
deposit's carapace, as well as remote sensing and statistical analysis, allows a better …

In mountain geosystems, rockfalls are among the most effective sediment transfer
processes, reflected in the regional-scale distribution of talus slopes. However, the …

In recent decades, watersheds in the middle Himalayan belt have witnessed land
degradation, flood, and landslide disasters. Growing population pressure, intensified use of …

Rock slopes in a range of environments are among the landscape elements most sensitive
to climate change, the latter affecting rock mass properties, altering slope boundary …
