Abstract The South China Sea offers an excellent case for studying source-to-sink transport
processes of fluvial sediments among the global marginal seas. This study synthesizes …

Landslides are nearly ubiquitous phenomena and pose severe threats to people, properties,
and the environment in many areas. Investigators have for long attempted to estimate …

Uplift and erosion modulate the carbon cycle over geologic timescales by exposing minerals
to chemical weathering. However, the erosion sensitivity of mineral weathering remains …

Abstract The May 12, 2008 Wenchuan earthquake of China (Mw 7.9 or Ms 8.0) triggered
hundreds of thousands of landslides. Map** such a large number of landslides is a major …

Introduction River networks, the backbone of most landscapes on Earth, collect and
transport water, sediment, organic matter, and nutrients from upland mountain regions to the …

It is widely recognized that collisional mountain belt topography is generated by crustal
thickening and lowered by river bedrock erosion, linking climate and tectonics,,–. However …

The stream power incision model (SPIM) is a cornerstone of quantitative geomorphology. It
states that river incision rate is the product of drainage area and channel slope raised to the …

The world's rivers deliver 19 billion tonnes of sediment to the coastal zone annually, with a
considerable fraction being sequestered in large deltas, home to over 500 million people …

Global climate is thought to be modulated by the supply of minerals to Earth's surface.
Whereas silicate weathering removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere …

Simple physical arguments, analogue experiments and numerical experiments all suggest
that the internal dynamics of actively deforming collisional mountain ranges are influenced …
