Sapping Features of the Colorado Plateau: a Comparative Planetary Geology Field Guide [PDF]
This book is an attempt to determine geomorphic criteria to be used to distinguish between channels formed predominantly by sapping and seepage erosion and those formed principally by surface runoff processes.

, 2021 Seven percent of the Norwegian landscape consists of rock and bare mountains, this makes a total of thirteen thousand mountains. The Norwegian culture is strongly influenced by settlements close to the wild mountain landscape. These populations vary from small villages to larger cities. Living close to these natural forces has resulted in many villages

Effect of rockfall fragmentation on exposure and subsequent risk analysis [PDF]
, 2018 Rockfalls are frequent natural processes in mountain regions with the potential to produce damage. The quantitative risk analysis (QRA) is an approach increasingly used to assess risk and evaluate the performance of mitigation measures.
