This paper integrates prior scholarship on desert pavements with a case study of pavements
on stream terraces in the Sonoran Desert to analyze the processes and site conditions that …

In the last decades surface exposure dating using cosmogenic nuclides has emerged as a
powerful tool in Quaternary geochronology and landscape evolution studies. Cosmogenic …

The failure of a 144‐m‐high lava‐dam waterfall on the Río Coca, Ecuador, in February 2020
initiated a catastrophic watershed reset—regressive erosion upstream and a massive …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the radionuclides 10 Be, 14 C, 26 Al, and 36 Cl
in detail. These radionuclides are produced by cosmic rays in mineral grains in the surface …

Ice-dammed lakes were repeatedly formed in intermontane basins in the Russian Altai
Mountains throughout the Pleistocene. These cataclysmic outburst floods, caused by ice …

Breached dams formed naturally of rock or rock debris have produced many of the largest
floods of Earth history. Two broad classes of natural impoundments are (1) valley-blocking …

Abstract 40Ar/39Ar dates on basalts of Grand Canyon provide one of the best records in the
world of the interplay among volcanism, differential canyon incision, and neotectonic …

Abstract Cosmogenic 26Al and 10Be in alluvial gravel on a strath 150 m above the San
Juan River, Utah, reveal a depositional age of Ma. This gravel is correlative with a series of …

Abstract On February 2, 2020, a sudden collapse of the volcaniclastic debris avalanche
deposit behind the natural lava-dam barrier of the San-Rafael waterfall, the highest of …

This study discusses the complex late Holocene evolution of the Gediz River north of Kula,
western Turkey, when a basaltic lava flow dammed and filled this river valley. Age control …
