The surface of ice exhibits the swath of phase-transition phenomena common to all
materials and as such it acts as an ideal test bed of both theory and experiment. It is readily …

Glaciation and deglaciation, along with their associated climatic and non-climatic processes,
modify slope stresses and influence slope stability. Paraglacial slope failures are those that …

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 …

Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …

This paper reviews frost‐weathering studies in the last five years and proposes key
questions to be answered. New techniques have enabled us to monitor moisture contents …

In this article we craft process‐specific algorithms that capture climate control of hillslope
evolution in order to elucidate the legacy of past climate on present critical zone architecture …

Sediments link hillslopes to river channels. The size of sediments entering channels is a key
control on river morphodynamics across a range of scales, from channel response to human …

In mountainous landscapes the role of periglacial processes in producing sediment is poorly
defined, despite evidence of abundant talus slopes. Ice growth in rock has long been …

Oxidative weathering of sulfide minerals in sedimentary rocks releases carbon dioxide
(CO2) into the atmosphere. In permafrost zones, this could be a positive feedback on climate …

Rates and processes of frost weathering in the Alps were investigated by visual
observations of intensively shattered rocks, continuous monitoring of frost wedging and rock …
