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 stream power law, expressed as E= KA m S n—where E is erosion rate [LT− 1], K is an
erodibility coefficient [T− 1 L (1− 2m)], A is drainage area [L 2], S is channel gradient [L/L] …

Abstract Traversing the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, the Sichuan–Tibet Railway is by far the
most difficult railway project in the world. The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau features the most …

The base of Earth's critical zone (CZ) is commonly shielded from study by many meters of
overlying rock and regolith. Though deep CZ processes may seem far removed from 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 …

In tectonically active mountain belts, landslides contribute significantly to erosion. Statistical
analysis of regional inventories of earthquake-triggered-landslides after large earthquakes …

Despite their centrality to life on Earth, we know little about how microbes interact with each
other, their hosts, or their environment. Although DNA sequencing technologies have …

INTRODUCTION Oxidative weathering of pyrite, the most abundant sulfide mineral in Earth's
crust, is coupled to the biogeochemical cycles of sulfur, oxygen, carbon, and iron. Pyrite …

Our understanding of the spatial patterns of landslides in Africa is limited with available
landslide studies typically focusing on only one or a few study areas. Moreover, Africa is …

With the global rise in sea levels caused by climate change and frequent extreme weather
processes, high-density population aggregation and human development activities to …
