Soil flowed over the slopes of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa about 30,000 years ago
arnaud temme
Several landscape processes cause the movement of soil over slopes. Erosion from overland water flow and sudden landsliding are among the best-known of these processes. Creep, the slow and depth-dependent movement ...

Marine terraces in mid-latitude settings: the case of the Oregon USA coast
Harvey Kelsey, Humboldt State University
Marine terraces are terraced landforms that occur as elevated flats inboard of, and parallel to, coastlines. Outstanding examples of a stair-step landscape of marine terraces can be found in many places in the ...

The pattern and timing of the last Pleistocene glaciation in northeastern Utah: evidence of an ancient lake effect
Ben Laabs, North Dakota State University-Main Campus
Setting During the last Pleistocene glaciation, the highest mountains in northern Utah were blanketed by snow and ice, accumulating in broad cirques to form valley glaciers. The Great Salt Lake rose more than 300 ...

Challenges associated with investigations into the geomorphology of other worlds: A case study examining glacier-like forms in the mid-latitudes of Mars
Colin Souness
Ever since global imagery of Mars was first gathered and transmitted back to Earth in 1971 by the Mariner 9 orbiter, geomorphologists have remarked upon the abundance of landforms which seem to suggest the action ...

Soils, relict landscapes and paleoclimate in the Atacama Desert, Chile
Jason Rech, Miami University-Oxford
The exceptionally dry Atacama Desert, adjacent to the Central Andes in northern Chile, contains many relict landscapes (landscapes formed in the past, but preserved on the present surface; Figure 1). One remarkable ...

Stream response to Climate Change, Atacama Desert, Chile
Jason A Rech, Craig Tully, Claudio Latorre Miami University, Ohio; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
Climate on earth is constantly changing. Earth's climate can change gradually over millions of years (tectonic-scale) due to changes in greenhouse gases or the slow movement of tectonic plates, or climate can ...

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 ...
