Abstract Structure from Motion (SfM) generates high-resolution topography and coregistered
texture (color) from an unstructured set of overlapping photographs taken from varying …

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 …

For over a century, geomorphologists have attempted to unravel information about
landscape evolution, and processes that drive it, using river profiles. Many studies have …

The loss of life and economic consequences caused by several recent earthquakes
demonstrate the importance of developing seismically safe building codes. The …

Rising sea levels and increased storminess are expected to accelerate the erosion of soft-
cliff coastlines, threatening coastal infrastructure and livelihoods. To develop predictive …

Soil‐mantled pole‐facing hillslopes on Earth tend to be steeper, wetter, and have more
vegetation cover compared with adjacent equator‐facing hillslopes. These and other slope …

Ocean island volcanism provides a unique window into the nature of mantle composition,
dynamics and evolution. The four Macaronesian archipelagos–Cape Verde, the Canaries …

Hillslopes constitute the majority of Earth's land surface area and dominate the supply of
sediment to rivers. Hillslope sediment transport is commonly modeled with a rate law that …

High-resolution topographic data are fundamental for active tectonics studies. Within the last
2 decades, the airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system provided a solution for …

Past variations in climate and tectonics have led to spatially and temporally varying erosion
rates across many landscapes. In this contribution I examine methods for detecting and …
