[HTML][HTML] The role of infrequently mobile boulders in modulating landscape evolution and geomorphic hazards

CM Shobe, JM Turowski, R Nativ, RC Glade… - Earth-Science …, 2021 - Elsevier
A landscape's sediment grain size distribution is the product of, and an important influence
on, earth surface processes and landscape evolution. Grains can be large enough that the …

Unsaturated flow processes and the onset of seasonal deformation in slow‐moving landslides

NJ Finnegan, JP Perkins, AL Nereson… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Predicting rainfall‐induced landslide motion is challenging because shallow groundwater
flow is extremely sensitive to the preexisting moisture content in the ground. Here, we use …

Rock properties and sediment caliber govern bedrock river morphology across the Taiwan Central Range

JC Carr, RA DiBiase, EC Yeh, DM Fisher, E Kirby - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
Feedbacks between surface and deep Earth processes in collisional mountain belts depend
on how erosion and topographic relief vary in space and time. One outstanding unknown …

Unravelling fluvial versus glacial legacy controls on boulder‐bed river geomorphology for semi‐alluvial rivers in Fennoscandia

RJ Mason, LE Polvi - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
River management is founded on predictable self‐organisation between river form and
catchment controls in alluvial rivers. However, a substantial proportion of rivers are not fully …

Controls on fluvial sediment evacuation following an earthquake-triggered landslide: Observations from LiDAR time series

J Tunnicliffe, J Howarth, C Massey - Science Advances, 2024 - science.org
Catastrophic sediment overloading of mountain streams in response to coseismic
landsliding causes river systems to fundamentally reorganize their morphology and …

Wide bedrock valley development and sensitivity to environmental perturbations: Insights from flume experiments in erodible bedrock

AL Langston, CH Robertson - Earth Surface Processes and …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Wide bedrock valleys and their genetic descendants, strath terraces, can serve as
morphological records of past climate that reflect river discharge and sediment load during …

Tectonic advection of contacts enhances landscape transience

N Mitchell, AM Forte - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Contrasts in bedrock erodibility have been shown to drive landscape transience, but it is
unclear whether horizontal tectonic displacements would enhance such effects …
