Rock slope failure preparation paced by total crack boundary length
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Gravitational mass wasting prediction requires understanding of the factors controlling failure. Prior to slope failure, cracks in the weakened rock are thought to grow and coalesce, eventually forming a continuous failure plane.

, 1972 Igneous rocks of basic character dominate the Central Plateau. A great dolerite sheet of Jurassic caps the Plateau and forms its resistant surface. Later, sporadic basalt lavas of Tertiary age fill old drainage depressions cut in the Plateau.

Scale-dependence of lithological control on topography: Bedrock channel geometry and catchment morphometry in western Scotland [PDF]
, 2010 We propose that a scale-dependent topographic signature of erodibility arises due to fluvial and glacial erosion acting on different parts of the landscape at different times.

Geomorphic signal of active faulting at the northern edge of Lut Block. Insights on the kinematic scenario of Central Iran [PDF]
, 2016 Recent works documented Neogene to Quaternary dextral strike-slip tectonics along the Kuh-e-Sarhangi and Kuh-e-Faghan intraplate strike-slip faults at the northern edge of the Lut Block of Central Iran, previously thought to be dominated by sinistral ...

Emergence of the Shackleton Range from beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet due to glacial erosion [PDF]
, 2014 This paper explores the long-term evolution of a subglacial fjord landscape in the Shackleton Range, Antarctica. We propose that prolonged ice-sheet erosion across a passive continental margin caused troughs to deepen and lower the surrounding ice-sheet ...

The glacial geomorphology of western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Journal of Maps, 2020 Reconstructing the response of present-day ice sheets to past global climate change is important for constraining and refining the numerical models which forecast future contributions of these ice sheets to sea-level change.

Mapping the interactions between rivers and sand dunes: Implications for fluvial and aeolian geomorphology [PDF]
, 2014 The interaction between fluvial and aeolian processes can significantly change Earth surface morphology. When rivers and sand dunes meet, the interaction of sediment transport between the two systems can lead to change in either or both systems. However,

Morphometric Analysis of Sand Dunes and the Speed of Their Displacement in Sistan Plain [PDF]
کاوشهای جغرافیایی مناطق بیابانی, 2019 The characteristics of Sistan plain, such as river sedimentation, blowing of erosive winds, especially 120-day winds, and the droughts in the past 20 years have made a suitable situation for wind erosion.
