Using technology as an aid to the geomorphologist
Sarah Robinson, Arizona State University at the Tempe Campus
Geomorphology requires characterization of the earth's surface at sufficient high resolution in 3 dimensions to explicitly represent landforms. Measuring change requires repeat survey, thus adding the 4th ...

Volcanic History and Cinder Cone Erosion at Newberry Volcano, Oregon
Steve Taylor, Western Oregon University
Surface landforms result from a balance of constructional and erosional processes operating at geological time scales of 102 to 105 years. The landscape evolves over time as masses of earth material are transferred ...

Fluvial geomorphology in a tank - The scientific value of physical experiments
Nikki Strong, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
The beauty and utility of experiments is to illuminate the fundamental processes that drive the evolution of natural systems. Experiments help us build intuition for processes that otherwise might be hard to ...

Soil-water-rock interactions I: The pediment problem
Mark Strudley
You may have not initially appreciated that piedmonts (landscapes between steep mountain masses and depositional basins) are not all covered by alluvial fans. In fact, piedmonts, along with adjoining low-relief ...

Predicting the effect of changing climate on landscapes with computer based landscape evolution models
arnaud temme
Predicting the effect of changing climate on landscapes with computer based landscape evolution models. Future climate change will influence the processes that shape our landscapes. Knowing this influence is ...

Understanding soil erosion and landscape evolution using computer based predictive models
Greg Hancock
The ability to measure and model soil erosion and resultant landscape evolution is important because soil erosion has a range of environmental impacts, including loss of organic matter and nutrients, reduction of ...

Erodibility, tensile strength, and the "k" problem in Grand kanyon
Natalie Bursztyn, University of Montana
River profile shape is an important indicator of the geomorphic processes and history that contributed to its modern form. In the case of bedrock streams during episodes of incision, resistance of river-level ...

Clearcutting and Erosion in New England - the Photographic and Stratigraphic Record

Paul Bierman Professor of Geology and Natural Resources, University of Vermont Location Continent: North America Country: United States of America State/Province: Vermont City/Town: Huntington, Tunbridge UTM ...

Slow erosion without creep in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
Dan Morgan, Vanderbilt University
Quantifying erosion rates is central to understanding how landscapes evolve through time and for discerning the links between landforms and the processes that shape them. The alpine valleys of the McMurdo Dry ...

Tillage erosion in developing countries in Asia
ALAN ZIEGLER
Tillage erosion, which is the net redistribution of soil within the landscape as a result of farming activities, is one of the most important soil degradation processes on sloping croplands world-wide (Govers et ...
