Geomorphology of Mountainous Deserts [PDF]
, 1933 The peculiar land forms of the desert are due largely (1) to the paucity of plant growth, in consequence of which (2) disintegrated rock, produced more by physical than by chemical processes, which (3) vary with rock nature (hence granitic rocks assume ...

Sediment transport by runoff on debris-mantled dryland hillslopes [PDF]
, 2012 Hillslopes supply sediment to river channels, and therefore impact drainage basin functioning and evolution. The relationship between hillslope attributes and sediment flux forms the basis of geomorphic transport laws used to model the long-term ...

The role of mass-movement in shore platform development along the Gisborne coastline, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1968 Tidal shore platforms form a conspicuous part of the coastal scenery north of Gisborne, New Zealand. Some of these platforms are being extended landward under present-day conditions. Present widening results primarily from cliff-retreat by mass-movement.

Comparing rockfall scar volumes and kinematically detachable rock masses [PDF]
, 2017 Scenario-based risk assessment for rockfalls, requires assumptions for different scenarios of magnitude (volume). The magnitude of such instabilities is related to the properties of the jointed rock mass, with the characteristics of the existing ...

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 ...
