Late Cenozoic exhumation model of New Zealand: Impacts from tectonics and climate

R Jiao, F Herman, D Seward - Earth-science reviews, 2017 - Elsevier
Late Cenozoic convergence between the Australian and Pacific Plates has led to extensive
crustal deformation and exhumation in New Zealand. Over the past five decades, the …

The human impact on North American erosion, sediment transfer, and storage in a geologic context

DB Kemp, PM Sadler, V Vanacker - Nature Communications, 2020 - nature.com
Humans are primary agents of geomorphic change, and rates of anthropogenic landscape
change likely far exceed the pace of change expected from natural geologic processes …

Sediment supply controls equilibrium channel geometry in gravel rivers

AM Pfeiffer, NJ Finnegan, JK Willenbring - Proceedings of the National …, 2017 - pnas.org
In many gravel-bedded rivers, floods that fill the channel banks create just enough shear
stress to move the median-sized gravel particles on the bed surface (D 50). Because this …

Spatial correlation bias in late-Cenozoic erosion histories derived from thermochronology

TF Schildgen, PA van Der Beek, HD Sinclair… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The potential link between erosion rates at the Earth's surface and changes in global climate
has intrigued geoscientists for decades, because such a coupling has implications for the …

Increased subglacial sediment discharge in a warming climate: Consideration of ice dynamics, glacial erosion, and fluvial sediment transport

I Delaney, S Adhikari - Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We evaluate changes to subglacial sediment discharge during glacier retreat by considering
ice dynamics, bedrock erosion, and sediment transport processes. Coupling these …

Sediment yield over glacial cycles: A conceptual model

G Antoniazza, SN Lane - Progress in Physical Geography …, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
The temporal variability in sediment export yield from glaciers over a timescale of multiple
glacial cycles (eg 1× 102− 1× 106 years) is of interest for a wide range of applications in …

Decadal-scale coastal cliff retreat in southern and central California

AP Young - Geomorphology, 2018 - Elsevier
Airborne LiDAR data collected in 1998 and 2009–2010 were used to measure coastal cliff
erosion and retreat between the Mexico/California border and Bodega Head, California. Cliff …

Alpine rockwall erosion patterns follow elevation-dependent climate trajectories

D Draebing, T Mayer, B Jacobs… - Communications Earth & …, 2022 - nature.com
