Diagnostic criteria using microfacies for calcareous contourites, turbidites and pelagites in the Eocene–Miocene slope succession, southern Cyprus
(
- Sedimentology
, 2020)
Interbedded contourites, turbidites and pelagites are commonplace in many deep-water slope environments. However, the distinction between these different facies remains a source of controversy. This detailed study of ...
Bayesian geomorphology
(
- Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
, 2020)
The rapidly growing amount and diversity of data are confronting us more than ever with the need to make informed predictions under uncertainty. The adverse impacts of climate change and natural hazards also motivate our ...
Controls on the lateral channel-migration rate of braided channel systems in coarse non-cohesive sediment
(
- Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
, 2019)
Lateral movements of alluvial river channels control the extent and reworking rates of alluvial fans, floodplains, deltas, and alluvial sections of bedrock rivers. These lateral movements can occur by gradual channel ...
On the Sensitivity of the Devonian Climate to Continental Configuration, Vegetation Cover, Orbital Configuration, CO 2 Concentration, and Insolation
(
- Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology
, 2019)
During the Devonian (419 to 359 million years ago), life on Earth witnessed decisive evolutionary breakthroughs, most prominently the colonization of land by vascular plants and vertebrates. However, it was also a period ...
Coastal Erosion Variability at the Southern Laptev Sea Linked to Winter Sea Ice and the Arctic Oscillation
(
- Geophysical Research Letters
, 2020)
Arctic coastal erosion experiences pronounced effects from ongoing climate change. The Laptev Sea figures among the Arctic regions with the most severe erosion rates. Here, we use unprecedentedly long records of almost ...
Monitoring the sedimentary budget and dislocated boulders in western Greece – results since 2008
(
- Sedimentology
, 2020)
Dislocated boulders are one sign of high-energy wave impacts on coasts. These high-energy impacts, caused by severe storms or tsunamis, can trigger initial cracking and transport of boulders. Monitoring of these boulders, ...
Boundary condition control of fluvial obstacle mark formation – framework from a geoscientific perspective
(
- Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
, 2020)
Obstacle marks are sedimentary bedforms, typically composed of an upstream local scour hole and a downstream sediment accumulation in the vicinity of an obstruction that is exposed to a current. However, specific morphologies ...
Topographic and Geologic Controls on Frost Cracking in Alpine Rockwalls
(
- Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface
, 2021-06-14)
Frost weathering is a major control on rockwall erosion in Alpine environments. Previous frost cracking model approaches used air temperatures as a proxy for rock temperatures to drive frost weathering simulations on ...
Width control on event-scale deposition and evacuation of sediment in bedrock-confined channels
(
- Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
, 2020)
Abstract
In mixed bedrock–alluvial rivers, the response of the system to a flood event can be affected by a number of factors, including coarse sediment availability in the channel, sediment supply from the hillslopes and ...
New fjords, new coasts, new landscapes: The geomorphology of paraglacial coasts formed after recent glacier retreat in Brepollen (Hornsund, southern Svalbard)
(
- Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
, 2020)
Changes in the properties and dynamics of tidewater glacier systems are key indicators of the state of Arctic climate and environment. Calving of tidewater glacier fronts is currently the dominant form of ice mass loss and ...
