The Earth's surface morphology, in an abiotic context, is a consequence of major forcings
such as tectonic uplift, erosion, sediment transport, and climate. Recently, however, it has …

The primary aim of every twenty-first century mining operation is to extract as much ore as
possible in a safe and economical manner. Failure in mine excavation occurs when the …

This practical guide provides the best introduction to large deformation material point
