Large earthquakes initiate chains of surface processes that last much longer than the brief
moments of strong shaking. Most moderate‐and large‐magnitude earthquakes trigger …

Mountain building results in high erosion rates and the interaction of rocks with the
atmosphere, water and life. Carbon transfers that result from increased erosion could control …

The damming of rivers represents one of the most far-reaching human modifications of the
flows of water and associated matter from land to sea. Dam reservoirs are hotspots of …

Terrestrial carbon export via inland aquatic systems is a key process in the global carbon
cycle. It includes loss of carbon to the atmosphere via outgassing from rivers, lakes, or …

Rivers are dynamic components of the terrestrial carbon cycle and provide important
functions in ecosystem processes. Although rivers act as conveyers of carbon to the oceans …

Tropical cyclones are increasing in intensity and size and, thus, are poised to increase in
importance as disturbance agents. Our understanding of cyclone ecology is biased towards …

Mycologists have been fascinated with marine fungi for more than 70 years now. An
enormous volume of information on marine fungi is presently available. We can now say …

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 …

Nearly 50 years of research focused on large wood (LW) in rivers provide a basis for
understanding how wood enters rivers; how wood decays, breaks, and is transported …

Interactions between floodplains and wood date to the Carboniferous, when stable,
multithread channel deposits appear with the evolution of tree-like plants. Foundational …
