The shaping of erosional landscapes by internal dynamics
Erosional landscapes transport sediment downstream, host natural hazards and are
geologically active. While perturbations in external forcing, particularly climate and tectonics …

Co-existing water and sediment bacteria are driven by contrasting environmental factors across glacier-fed aquatic systems
Glacier-fed aquatic ecosystems provide habitats for diverse and active bacterial
communities. However, the environmental vulnerabilities of co-existing water and sediment …

Rapid incision of the Mekong River in the middle Miocene linked to monsoonal precipitation
The uplift of orogenic plateaus has been assumed to be coincident with the fluvial incision of
the gorges that commonly cut plateau margins. The Mekong River, which drains the eastern …

Timescales of landscape response to divide migration and drainage capture: Implications for the role of divide mobility in landscape evolution
Efforts to extract information about climate and tectonics from topography commonly assume
that river networks are static. Drainage divides can migrate through time, however, and …
