Understanding the evolution and timing of changes in ice sheet geometry and extent in Iceland during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and subsequent deglaciation continues to stimulate much active research.

The study focusses on the morphological evolution of worldwide restored intertidal flats. These intertidal flats initially experience high sedimentation rates after the opening of the connection with open waters. The anthropogenic structures cause high morphological instability and are eroded, leading to a self‐cannibalisation of the system.

A framework for in‐stream jams formed by snow avalanche‐delivered large wood
Large wood delivered by avalanches organizes into blanket or transport jam complexes.Jam complexes increase channel width and promote pool and bar formation. Avalanche frequency and magnitude, which are dependent on hillslope angle and roughness characteristics, controls jam complex type.

Reconstructing ~200 years of landscape change at the Cancano–San Giacomo hydroelectric system (Central Alps), we integrate historical cartography, archival photographs, multitemporal aerial/satellite imagery and field validation to map pre‐ and post‐impoundment landforms.

Report of the panel on the land surface: Process of change, section 5 [PDF]
The panel defined three main areas of study that are central to the Solid Earth Science (SES) program: climate interactions with the Earth's surface, tectonism as it affects the Earth's surface and climate, and human activities that modify the Earth's ...

Stream channel storage: Closing the watershed total phosphorus budget
Abstract A 3‐year total phosphorus (TP) budget was created for Walnut Creek, a ∼5200 ha agricultural watershed in central Iowa. The budget, developed from measures of streambank erosion, overland flow, baseflow, and flux to floodplain storage, was created with the specific goal of estimating in‐channel storage contributions to annual TP loads—a ...

Rainfall‐induced landslides involving on Auckland Volcanic Field scoria cones are highly unusual, compared with widespread landsliding in the surrounding Auckland clay‐rich residual soils. Indeed, while Auckland can suffer from thousands of rainfall‐induced shallow landslides from severe storms at subdecadal timescales, these are usually limited to ...

The Cordillera Darwin Icefield (CDI) has experienced widespread retreat since the Little Ice Age (LIA, ∼1870 AD). Prior to this, information on outlet glacier dynamics is limited as there are few terrestrial observations and little mapped deglacial ...

One application of mega-geomorphology in education [PDF]
One advantage of a synoptic view displaying landform assemblages provided by imagery is that one can often identify geomorphic processes which have shaped the region and which may affect the habitability of the area over a human life time.

The Rangitīkei Valley in the lower North Island of New Zealand contains flights of river terraces that are influenced by changes in sediment supply, stream power and base level associated with Quaternary climate events over the last ∼350 thousand years.
