Weathering and landscape evolution
Geomorphology, 2005Abstract In recognition of the fundamental control exerted by weathering on landscape evolution and topographic development, the 35th Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium was convened under the theme of Weathering and Landscape Evolution. The papers and posters presented at the conference imparted the state-of-the-art in weathering geomorphology ...

Large earthquakes on the sea floor, submarine slides, and asteroid impacts with the ocean can create tsunami waves that spread ocean-wide with profound effects on coastal landscapes. They can generate run-up heights 30 times greater than their open ocean wave height and sweep several kilometers inland. Tsunami are thus catastrophic events and can leave

Thermochronology and landscape evolution
Physics Today, 2009Radioactive decay, the diffusion of daughter nuclides, and the annealing of fission tracks are being used to develop time-versus-temperature histories of rocks and the processes that sculpt Earth’s surface.

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of some historical perspectives on landscape evolution, identifies the key qualitative studies that have moved the science of large-scale geomorphology forward, explores some of the new numeric models that simulate real landscapes and real processes, and provides a glimpse of future landscape ...

Landscapes and molecular evolution
Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 1997Abstract Evolution of RNA molecules in vitro is visualized as a hill-climbing process on a fitness landscape that can be derived from molecular properties and functions. The optimization process is shaped by a high degree of redundance in sequence-to-structure mappings: there are many more sequences than structures and sequences folding into the same

Soils and archaeological sites are intimately related to the landscape. Investigating soils across past and present landscapes provides a means of reconstructing and understanding the regional environmental and geomorphic context of archaeological site settings and specific site locations, regional site formation processes, and aspects of the resources
