Although the general concept that escarpments in layered rocks retreat through time was
offered more than 150 years ago, recognizing the exact mechanisms, patterns and rates of …

This paper provides a review of recent publications dealing with different issues of
sandstone geomorphology, which was long an under-researched theme. Nevertheless …

This paper presents geomorphic evidence for the significant role of surface-subsurface
connectivity in the geomorphological evolution of tabular hills (mesas) capped by …

Long-term rates of escarpment retreat in sedimentary tablelands have been rarely
determined and their possible variability in relation to major environmental changes has …

Recognition of structural connectivity is particularly challenging in terrains lacking a
hierarchical fluvial system, but typified by strong bedrock control, extreme ruggedness of …

Abstract Models of geomorphic evolution of tablelands vary as far as the patterns of cliff line
degradation and hence, scarp retreat are concerned. Among surface processes rock slope …

Caprock-crowned escarpments are characteristic geomorphic features of the sandstone
tableland of the Stołowe Mountains (SW Poland). Their mid-and lower slopes truncate …

Escarpment slopes in sedimentary tablelands are often mantled by extensive boulder
blankets. While lithology shows beyond doubt that caprock is the source of boulders, the …

Three themes in global mountain geomorphology have been defined and reinforced over
the past decade:(a) new ways of measuring, sensing, and analyzing mountain …

Abstract Contemporary airborne Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data
provide a high-resolution input to quantitative studies within various branches of …
