More than a decade has passed since the publication of the benchmark paper of Costa and
Schuster (Costa, JE and Schuster, RL 1988: The formation and failure of natural dams …

A first account of the Quaternary glacial history is presented for northwest Garhwal, Central
Himalaya. On the basis of sediments and landforms, one glacial stage has been recognised …

We review the role of landslides in current concepts of the topographic development of
mountain ranges. We find that many studies in this field address basin-or orogen-scale …

There is much variability of sediment yield in mountain river systems because it is influenced
by both periodic (eg, snowmelt, monsoonal circulation) and episodic (high-intensity …

At time-scales of 102 to 105 years, erosion by rivers, landslides and glaciers can exceed 5
mm/y. Sustained denudation at these rates is sufficient to account for many of the rapid rates …

We review recent work on ice, moraine, and landslide dams in mountainous terrain, thus
complementing several comprehensive summaries on glacier dams in intracontinental and …

Abstract In 1255, 1344, and 1408 AD, then again in 1833, 1934, and 2015, large
earthquakes, devastated Kathmandu. The 1255 and 1934 surface ruptures have been …

Ongoing studies that relate tectonics to the processes at the surface of Earth show that many
more sources of information about agents of shallow denudation, such as mass movement …

Despite numerous studies on Himalayan erosion, it is not known how the very high
Himalayan peaks erode. Although valley floors are efficiently eroded by glaciers, the …

Any understanding of sediment routing from mountain belts to their forelands and offshore
sinks remains incomplete without estimates of intermediate storage that decisively buffers …
