Current use of land surface curvatures (LSCs) is in a confused state as a large gap has
opened up between applications and theoretical work. LSCs exercise important control on …

The Earth's surface is shaped by tectonics and climate. This simple statement implies that
we should, in principle, be able to use the landscape as an archive of both tectonic rates and …

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 …

Land-surface parameters derived from digital land surface models (DLSMs)(for example,
slope, surface curvature, topographic position, topographic roughness, aspect, heat load …

Evaluating conflicting theories about the influence of mountains on carbon dioxide cycling
and climate requires understanding weathering fluxes from tectonically uplifting landscapes …

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 this study, we validate and compare elevation accuracy and geomorphic metrics of
satellite-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) on the southern Central Andean Plateau …

Soil thickness is a fundamental variable in many earth science disciplines due to its critical
role in many hydrological and ecological processes, but it is difficult to predict. Here we …

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 …

The characteristics of the sediment transported by rivers (eg sediment flux, grain size
distribution–GSD) dictate whether rivers aggrade or erode their substrate. They also …
