A 54-year record of sediment yield linked with proglacial sedimentary dynamics
Martin Geilhausen, Zurich University of Applied Sciences
Proglacial zones are newly formed landscapes in front of or just beyond the outer limits of glaciers (fig. 1). They are out of equilibrium with the current climate and therefore highly sensitive to climate change. ...

Key words: Floodplain formation, fluvial geomorphology, sediment archives, environmental change, Late Holocene, Gourits River basin During the last decades significant rainfall events resulted in widespread and ...

Quantifying rates of erosion in Namibia using cosmogenic nuclides
Alexandru T Codilean
Quantifying rates of erosion on millennial timescales is fundamental to understanding the processes that shape the Earth's surface. Cosmogenic nuclide analysis is probably the most suitable technique for this ...

Cosmogenic nuclide inventories of river sediments reveal the geomorphic character of their source areas
Alexandru T Codilean
The realization that surface processes can play a key role in moderating tectonics, and possibly climate (Molnar & England, 1990; Raymo & Ruddiman, 1992; see also Bishop 2007) has meant that there is now a ...

A sediment budget for an area of sugarcane cultivation on the Herbert River floodplain, NE Australia
Fleur Visser
While demand on food production is growing, agricultural land is becoming increasingly less productive because of the erosion of fertile topsoil. The effects of soil erosion, however, go beyond the loss of fertile ...

Logging, erosion, and sediment yield in western China
Amanda Schmidt, Oberlin College
We generally know that logging, and clear-cutting in particular, can cause enormous amounts of erosion due to loss of soil cohesion. So, one would predict that since most of the forests in western China were ...

Processes and rates of channel change following disturbance by debris flows
Christine May, James Madison University
The Oregon Coast Range is a dynamic landscape, with steep hillslopes mantled by a thin veneer of soil. In this and other mountainous regions of the world, debris flows play a major role in routing sediment and ...

Rivers crossing growing folds
Douglas Burbank, University of California-Santa Barbara
The interactions of fluvial systems with active deforming landscapes has provided fertile ground for exploration of the adjustments that rivers make when they are perturbed by deformation. Two ingredients are ...
