A landscape's sediment grain size distribution is the product of, and an important influence
on, earth surface processes and landscape evolution. Grains can be large enough that the …

This paper discusses the potential response of fluvial processes and landforms to the
projected permafrost degradation and related hydrological change. Fluvial system structure …

The stream power incision model (SPIM) is a cornerstone of quantitative geomorphology. It
states that river incision rate is the product of drainage area and channel slope raised to the …

We often resort to mythical thinking in the face of natural phenomena that we hardly
understand. Sedimentary petrology has several long-standing myths. One is that sediments …

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology,
geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph
Series, Volume 19. What are the forms and processes characteristic of mountain rivers and …

Sediment archives in the terrestrial and marine realm are regularly analyzed to infer
changes in climate, tectonic, or anthropogenic boundary conditions of the past. However …

The study of drainage network response to uplift is important not only for understanding river
system dynamics and associated channel properties and fluvial landforms, but also for …

The properties of sediment grain shape provide valuable information about the transport
mechanisms in different sedimentary and geomorphological environments. With the …
