Vignettes are stand-alone, illustrated electronic case studies that teach about geomorphology, surface processes, and/or Quaternary history. Vignettes can be used alone or in combination with the "Key Concepts in Geomorphology", the first in a new generation of textbooks. Vignettes allow faculty to customize the learning resources they offer students to enrich and personalize student learning experiences.

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 ...

The Mexican Alps: A Zone of Glacier Carved Cirques and Valleys
Winston Crausaz
BACKGROUND The Mexican Alps is a zone of spectacular landforms similar to those found in the glaciated regions of the Rocky Mountains. It is located just north of Mexico's highest mountain, Pico de Orizaba, ...

Comparative planetology: the geomorphology of volatile cycling and catastrophic flooding
Devon Burr, Northern Arizona University
INTRODUCTION: Three planetary bodies in our Solar System show landforms that provide evidence of liquid flowing over the surface, either at present or in the past. The surface flow of liquid is evidence for a ...

Debris flow behavior: Impacts of compositional variability and channel geometry at Mt. Ruapehu, New Zealand
Brian Kastl, University of Hawaii at Hilo
Debris flows are violent geomorphological hazards that threaten lives and infrastructure near mountains around the globe. Areas surrounding volcanoes are particularly susceptible to these torrents of boulders, ...

Hydrogeomorphic and ecological responses to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington
Jon Major
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, Washington, caused landscape disturbance on a grand scale, and the hydrogeomorphic (hydrologic and geomorphic) and ecological responses have been not only of scientific ...

The influence of volcanism on Andean Rivers
Scott Hynek, University of Utah
The Andean Cordillera spans more than 60° of latitude along the western margin of the South American continent. The climate, tectonics, and morphology of the range are known to vary considerably and predictably ...
