Mountains, erosion and the carbon cycle
Mountain building results in high erosion rates and the interaction of rocks with the
atmosphere, water and life. Carbon transfers that result from increased erosion could control …

Detailed monitoring reveals the nature of submarine turbidity currents
Seafloor sediment flows, called turbidity currents, form the largest sediment accumulations,
deepest canyons and longest channels on Earth. It was once thought that turbidity currents …

Environmental signal propagation in sedimentary systems across timescales
Earth-surface processes operate across erosionally dominated landscapes and deliver
sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

Global carbon export from the terrestrial biosphere controlled by erosion
Riverine export of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the ocean affects the atmospheric
carbon inventory over a broad range of timescales,,,,. On geological timescales, the balance …

Longest sediment flows yet measured show how major rivers connect efficiently to deep sea
Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the
longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor …
