Soil evolution indices in fluvial terrace chronosequences from central Spain (Tagus and Duero fluvial basins)

Quaternary International, 2015
Soil development in central Spain was studied through analysis of soil chronosequences from Tagus and Duero river valley terrace systems, evolved under similar Mediterranean climatic conditions throughout the Pleistocene. The most complete soil–terrace sequence, representative for our study, developed in the Tagus valley (Aranjuez–Toledo–Talavera ...

Soil genesis in a marine terrace sequence of Sicily, Italy

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
Knowledge about the rates of pedogenic processes is essential to understand landscape development and history. It can be attained by the quantitative investigation of soil chronosequences.

The influence of ex‐tropical cyclones on marine terrace retreat

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ex‐tropical cyclones can damage the integrity of marine terrace structures and contribute to erosion, but they are sometimes too infrequent to explain the longer term erosion rates of coastlines. Abstract High magnitude events, like Ex‐Tropical Cyclones, are likely to change in their trajectory, magnitude, and frequency under future climate change ...

Distribution of Orthoptera across the river valley (Kaluga-Aleksin canyon, European Russia) and their dynamics under the overgrowing of meadows

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука
Orthoptera insects (hereinafter – orthopterans) play a key role in grassland ecosystems and are often used as indicators of their condition. To conserve these insects and to model their habitat preferences, we need to know patterns of their distribution ...

Rapid changes of the lava‐delta coastlines formed by the 2021 volcanic eruption on La Palma, Canary Islands

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
A new coastline formed during the 2021 eruption of La Palma quickly eroded, becoming crenellated and with pocket beaches, then retreated more gradually as resistant interiors of the lava were exposed. In contrast, a second thicker lava delta changed more gradually, highlighting the importance of lithology to coastal erosion.

Geomorphology of marine and glacio-lacustrine terraces and raised shorelines in the northern sector of Península Brunswick, Patagonia, Straits of Magellan, Chile

Journal of Maps, 2018
This paper illustrates a detailed geomorphological map (scale 1:50,000) of the marine and transitional terraces (glacio-lacustrine to marine) and raised shorelines linked to Holocene glacio-eustasy and neo-tectonics in the northern area of the Brunswick ...

Observations of coastal cliff landslide runout in southern California from 21 years of data

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Runout distance from coastal cliff landslides along the coast of northern San Diego County, California USA between 2001 and 2023 were mapped and quantified. Results indicated cliff height influenced runout distance, and that 98% of maximum runout distances were less than half the cliff height.

Anthropogenic control on sediment connectivity for soil resource management in sloping vineyards (Mercurey, France)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
This paper explores how man‐made features influence soil loss and sediment connectivity in a French vineyard catchment. Despite high erosion rates, only a small fraction of the eroded sediment reaches the outlet. This highlights the effectiveness of winegrowers' strategy in disconnecting hillslopes from the sediment cascade.

Riverbank dynamics in a semi-arid fluvial environment: A study of the lower valley of Wadi Tamri (Atlantic Atlas, Morocco)

Investigaciones Geográficas
Riverbanks in semi-arid Mediterranean environments are dynamic features constantly shaped by natural factors and human interventions. Wadi Tamri’s lower valley, with its large alluvial plain, fragile terraces, and mixed marine/continental deposits, is a ...

3D definition of the river bankfull stage from topographic LiDAR

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
A 3D definition of river bankfull stage based on hydraulic depth derived from high‐density topographic LiDAR is proposed and implemented through the Bf3D framework, applied at the reach scale across 28 French rivers. Extending analysis beyond individual cross‐sections opens new opportunities for large‐scale, automated hydromorphological monitoring ...
