A study published in Nature Geoscience reports new findings on the effects that erosion has on the carbon cycle. The study comes from a group of researchers led by Aaron Bufe and Niels Hovius of the ...

During the Holocene sediment input from the Yellow River to the Yellow Sea and adjacent areas has amounted to about 3000 $km^{3}$. Detailed records from river gauging ...

A new article examines how groundwater flow beneath the surface of the earth impacts the rate of erosion. The topic has local interest because it has recently been observed that significant erosion is ...

Why do landscapes look the way they do? What controls the height and jaggedness of high mountain peaks? What role does glacial erosion play in shaping landscapes, and how will it be affected by ...

The Martian surface presents a complex record of geological processes that have spanned billions of years. The planet’s topography reveals evidence of volcanic activity, impact cratering, fluvial ...

In order to analyze the sediment erosion and deposition caused by engineering construction in sandy coastal, combined Geoscience and dynamics model was creatively used. By introducing four ...

Glaciers carved the deep valleys of Banff, eroded Ontario to deposit the fertile soils of the Prairies and continue to change the Earth’s surface. But how fast do glaciers sculpt the landscape?

Physical geography and environmental geoscience form a critically interlinked field that investigates the natural processes shaping Earth’s surface and the way in which these processes interact with ...

Which forces and mechanisms determine the height of mountains? A group of researchers from Münster and Potsdam has now found a surprising answer: It is not erosion and weathering of rocks that ...

Researchers have investigated erosion in the different kinds of limestone in the Western Wall at the foot of Jerusalem's Temple Mount. Stones made up of large crystals were almost unchanged in 2000 ...
