Chile is an elongated country, running in a north-south direction for more than 30° along a
subduction zone. Its climate is progressively wetter and colder from north to south. This …

Hyperarid coasts develop under relatively high air humidity and abundant sea salt aerosols,
resulting in physical and chemical weathering processes that distinctly differ from those …

Vegetation influences erosion by stabilizing hillslopes and accelerating weathering, thereby
providing a link between the biosphere and Earth's surface. Previous studies investigating …

The criteria for zoning the surface fault rupture hazard (SFRH) along thrust faults are defined
by analysing the characteristics of the areas of coseismic surface faulting in thrust …

The investigation of deformation rates on a mountain piedmont can provide key information
for improving our understanding of the overall dynamics of a mountain range. Here, we …

The modern high topography of the Tianshan resulted from the reactivation of a Paleozoic
orogenic belt by the India/Asia collision. Today, the range exhibits tectonically active …

The Tsangpo-Brahmaputra River drains the eastern part of the Himalayan range, flowing
from the Tibetan Plateau through the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and downstream to the …

Accurate geochronologic constraints of fluvial surfaces along tectonically active mountain
fronts can help clarify river responses to tectonic uplift and rapid climate change. In this …

Concentrations of in-situ-produced cosmogenic 10 Be in river sediment are widely used to
estimate catchment-average denudation rates. Typically, the 10 Be concentrations are …

Under hyperarid climate conditions, pedogenesis is driven by the atmospheric deposition
and subsequent accumulation of easily to moderately soluble salts forming extreme types of …
