Erosional landscapes transport sediment downstream, host natural hazards and are
geologically active. While perturbations in external forcing, particularly climate and tectonics …

In the future, Earth will be warmer, precipitation events will be more extreme, global mean
sea level will rise, and many arid and semiarid regions will be drier. Human modifications of …

Climate, tectonics, and life influence the flux and caliber of sediment transported across
Earth's surface. These environmental conditions can leave behind imprints in the Earth's …

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 …

The rate of river migration affects the stability of Arctic infrastructure and communities, and
regulates the fluxes of carbon,, nutrients and sediment, to the oceans. However, predicting …

The correspondence between seismic velocity anomalies in the crust and mantle and the
differential incision of the continental-scale Colorado River system suggests that significant …

The emergence of airborne lidar data for studying landscape evolution and natural hazards
has revolutionized our ability to document the topographic signature of active and ancient …

In seasonally dry environments, critical zone drainage provides base flow that sustains river
ecosystems. The extent of wetted channels and magnitude of base flow throughout the …

Sinuous patterns traced by fluid flows are a ubiquitous feature of physical landscapes on
Earth, Mars, the volcanic floodplains of the Moon and Venus, and other planetary bodies …

Floodplain and terrace features can provide information about current and past fluvial
processes, including channel response to varying discharge and sediment flux, sediment …
