Aeolian transport controls landform formations on Earth and other planets and crucially affects the atmospheric system. With elaborate wind tunnel measurements, we find that the aerodynamic entrainment rate follows a yet unreported exponential increase in ...
The hierarchy of channel networks in landscapes displays features that are characteristic of nonequilibrium complex systems. Here we show that a sequence of increasingly complex ridge and valley networks is produced by a system of partial differential equa ...
The loading path the fault experiences is often neglected when evaluating its potential for reactivation and the related seismic risk. However, stress history affects fault zone compaction and dilation, and thus its mechanics. Therefore, in incohesive faul ...
To explore connections between rock strength and rock falls, we undertook a comprehensive rock mechanics testing program for six granitic rock types in Yosemite Valley (California, USA) where rock falls are a common geomorphic and sometimes hazardous proce ...
Glacial erosion processes shape the Earth’s surface. Nevertheless, the processes that drive glacial erosion and the subsequent export of sediments are poorly understood and quantified. These processes include ice sliding, which controls erosion by abrasion ...
High-resolution lake and reservoir bathymetric surveys can pinpoint locations that may experience underwater landslides (subaquatic sedimentary mass movements). These can pose a risk to underwater and shoreline infrastructure. This paper outlines an approa ...
Despite natural faults are variably oriented to the Earth's surface and to the local stress field, the mechanics of fault reactivation and slip under variable loading paths (sensu Sibson, 1993) is still poorly understood. Nonetheless, different loading pat ...
Large wood (LW) is an important element in riparian and mountain ecosystems and influences geomorphic controls, particularly in torrents and mountain rivers. Despite several advantages, LW can also exacerbate flood damage near infrastructure due to logjams ...
The paper presents the results of an experimental work where we analyse the behaviour of an unsaturated quartz sand in a wide range of degree of saturation (from saturated to dry state). The possibility of anticipating the hydro-mechanical behaviour of the ...
Dams store water and trap sediment in their reservoirs. Downstream river segments, hence, are affected by a limited sediment dynamics. This becomes obvious by river bed incision, limited geomorphological variability and depletion of hydraulic habitats for ...
