In an era of big‐data acquisition and semiautomation of geomorphic river surveys, it is timely
to consider how to better integrate this into existing and widely used conceptual frameworks …

Arctic regions are disproportionately affected by atmospheric warming, with cascading
effects on multiple surface processes. Atmospheric warming is destabilizing permafrost …

The landscapes and seascapes of Earth's surface provide the theatre for life, but to what
extent did the actors build the stage? The role of life in the long-term shaping of the …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Meandering channels extensively dissect fluvial and tidal landscapes, critically controlling
their morphodynamic evolution and sedimentary architecture. In spite of an apparently …

The invasion of the land was a complex, protracted process, punctuated by mass extinctions,
that involved multiple routes from marine environments. We integrate paleobiology …

Recent acceleration of sand extraction for anthropic use threatens the sustainability of this
major resource. However, continental erosion and river transport, which produce sand and …

Stabilization of riverbanks by vegetation has long been considered necessary to sustain
single-thread meandering rivers. However, observation of active meandering in modern …

Tree roots provide surface erosion protection and improve slope stability through highly
complex interactions with the soil due to the nature of root systems. Root reinforcement …

River meander migration is a process that maintains biodiverse riparian ecosystems by
producing highly sinuous rivers, and oxbow lakes. However, although the floodplains …
