Description
Post-glacial interactions between climate, landscapes, and soils remain poorly understood, especially in alpine and sub-alpine areas. Here, I aim to increase understanding of the dynamic interactions between climate, landscape evolution, and soil ...

Description
Soil development combined with sediment storage and erosion in small, upland watersheds are key landscape processes for which assumptions are frequently made but rarely verified in landscape evolution studies. However, processes such as these, act...

Description
Large-scale exfoliation cracks and associated domes can strongly influence regional landscape evolution, hydrology and hazards, but their formation mechanism(s) and long-term evolution are poorly understood. Beginning in August 2014, in Twain Hart...
