Channelization cascade in landscape evolution. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 The hierarchy of channel networks in landscapes displays features that are characteristic of nonequilibrium complex systems. Here we show that a sequence of increasingly complex ridge and valley networks is produced by a system of partial differential equations coupling landscape evolution dynamics with a specific catchment area equation. By means of a

Holocene landscape evolution and its interaction with human activities in the southern piedmont of Taihang Mountain, Central China [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Piedmont zones have been witnessing intensive human activities since ancient times. However, it remains unclear when it comes to the environmental mechanism for early humans exploiting piedmont zones.

Glassy dynamics of landscape evolution. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance Soil is apparently solid as it moves downhill at glacial speeds, but can also liquefy from rain or earthquakes. This behavior is actually similar to that of glass, which creeps very slowly at low temperatures but becomes a liquid at higher temperatures.

Mid-Holocene reinforcement of North Atlantic atmospheric circulation variability from a western Baltic lake sediment record [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Knowledge about the timing, amplitude and spatial gradients of Holocene environmental variability in the circum-Baltic region is key to understanding its responses to ongoing climate change.

Seasonal deposition processes and chronology of a varved Holocene lake sediment record from Chatyr Kol lake (Kyrgyz Republic) [PDF]
Geochronology, 2020 Microfacies analysis of a sediment record from Chatyr Kol lake (Kyrgyz Republic) reveals the presence of seasonal laminae (varves) from the sediment base dated at 11 619±603 BP (years Before Present) up to ∼360±40 BP.

Phases of stability during major hydroclimate change ending the Last Glacial in the Levant
Scientific Reports, 2022 In-depth understanding of the reorganization of the hydrological cycle in response to global climate change is crucial in highly sensitive regions like the eastern Mediterranean, where water availability is a major factor for socioeconomic and political ...

Annual proxy data from Lago Grande di Monticchio (southern Italy) between 76 and 112 ka: new chronological constraints and insights on abrupt climatic oscillations [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2014 We present new annual sedimentological proxies and sub-annual element scanner data from the Lago Grande di Monticchio (MON) sediment record for the sequence 76–112 thousand years before present (ka).

The role of Medieval road operation on cultural landscape transformation
Scientific Reports, 2021 Connecting pathways are essential for cultural and economic exchange. Commonly, historians investigate the role of routes for cultural development, whereas the environmental impacts of historical routes attract less attention.

Stat-tracks and mediotypes: powerful tools for modern ichnology based on 3D models [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Vertebrate tracks are subject to a wide distribution of morphological types. A single trackmaker may be associated with a range of tracks reflecting individual pedal anatomy and behavioural kinematics mediated through substrate properties which may vary ...
