ABSTRACT Urban expansion significantly impacts flood risk, particularly in rapidly growing areas where impervious surfaces exacerbate surface runoff. This study examines spatial patterns of urban growth and their effects on flood exposure in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, from 2011 to 2021.

Flow History Effects on River Bifurcation Dynamics in a Himalayan River
Abstract Dynamic gravel bed rivers experience frequent changes in channel position and flow distribution between branches, which can alter the location and extent of flooding. Changes in flow routing can significantly impact livelihoods, habitats and infrastructure in adjacent floodplains. Here, we test whether variations in seasonal discharge patterns

Seasonal Ice Cover Could Allow Liquid Lakes to Persist in a Cold Mars Paleoclimate
Abstract Geomorphic and stratigraphic studies of Mars prove that extensive liquid water flowed and pooled on the surface early in Mars' history. Martian paleoclimate models, however, have difficulty simulating climate conditions warm enough to maintain liquid water on early Mars.

Abstract For over a century, alluvial river terraces have been used as archives of tectonic deformation or changes in water discharge, sediment supply, and sea level. Despite this long history, such efforts remain challenging: using terraces as deformation markers requires knowledge of their initial geometry, and most attempts to attribute terrace ...

Tectonics as a Regulator of Shoreline Retreat and Rocky Coast Evolution Across Timescales
Abstract Rocky coast morphology is shaped by interactions between wave action, sea level, and tectonics over millennial time scales. However, a clear and quantifiable signature of tectonic uplift on decadal to centennial shoreline retreat rates is outstanding.

Abstract Hyper‐velocity impacts on planetary surfaces lead to impact craters whose morphology evolves due to exogenous factors such as atmospheric processes, as well as endogenous factors including tectonic and metamorphism. On Earth, erosion processes driven by climate (fluvial, aeolian, glacial processes) progressively erase these structures, or even

Abstract The Outer California Borderland (OCB) is an active transform plate boundary offshore Southern California, where the relationship between faulting and submarine mass transport deposits (MTDs) remains poorly understood. Onshore paleoseismic data provide high‐resolution earthquake records, whereas marine geophysical data capture longer‐term ...
