Quantifying reductions in streamflow due to groundwater pumping (‘streamflow depletion’) is essential for conjunctive management of groundwater and surface water resources. Analyt…

Caldera-forming volcanic eruptions are among the most dangerous, and can generate extensive pyroclastic deposits and deliver ash into global atmospheric circulation systems. As ca…

Near-seafloor core and seismic-reflection data from the western Niger Delta continental slope document the facies, architecture, and evolution of submarine channel and intraslope …

Submarine and fluvial channels exhibit qualitatively similar geomorphic patterns, yet produce very different stratigraphic records. We reconcile these seemingly contradictory obse…

Changes in sediment supply and caliber during the last ~130 ka have resulted in a complex architectural evolution of the Y channel system on the western Niger Delta slope. This ev…

Climbing-ripple cross-lamination (CRCL) is most commonly deposited by turbidity currents when suspended load fallout and bedload transport occur contemporaneously. The angle of ri…

Studies on the impacts of land-use and land-cover change on stream hydrochemistry in active deforestation zones of the Amazon agricultural frontier are limited and have often used…

Characterizing the lithology, age, and physical-chemical properties of rocks and sediments in the Earths upper crust is necessary to fully assess energy, water, and mineral resour…

Critical taper theory permits the modelling of an orogenic wedge as a single mechanical entity. However, although shallow-crustal orogens dominated by brittle failure have been su…

The segregation and accumulation of felsic melts, from crystallising crustal magma reservoirs, is essential for the chemical evolution of the crust and is a phenomenon preceding s…

Most submarine canyons are erosive conduits cut deeply into the world’s continental shelves through which sediment is transported from areas of high coastal sediment supply onto l…

Cross-sectional asymmetry is characteristic of sinuous channels, in both fluvial and submarine settings. Less well documented are the facies distributions of asymmetric channels, …

‘Salt’ giants are typically halite-dominated, although they invariably contain other evaporite (e.g. anhydrite, bittern salts) and non-evaporite (e.g. carbonate, clastic) rocks. R…

We integrate published data sets of field and laboratory experiments of wave ripples and use genetic programming, a machine learning paradigm, in an attempt to develop a universal…

Normal faults grow via synchronous increase in displacement and length (‘propagating fault model’, also known as the ‘isolated fault model’), or by rapid length establishment and …

Supercontinents are usually interpreted to be single and rigid continental plates. How and when Pangea became a rigid supercontinent is disputed, and age estimations vary from ~33…

Anthropogenic activities, especially dam operations, often induce larger and more frequent stage fluctuations than those occurring in natural rivers. However, long-term impacts of…

Flows with high suspended sediment concentrations are common in many sedimentary environments, and their flow properties may show a transitional behaviour between fully turbulent …

New phase diagrams for the dynamic structure of clay-laden open-channel flows are proposed. These diagrams can be used to distinguish between turbulent Newtonian, transitional, an…

The Hangay Mountains are a high-elevation, low-relief landscape within the greater Mongolian Plateau of central Asia. New bedrock apatite (U-Th)/He single-grain ages from the Hang…

Environmental changes within erosional catchments of sediment routing systems are predicted to modulate sediment transfer dynamics. However, empirical and numerical models that pr…

Landslides are common in aquatic settings worldwide, from lakes and coastal environments to the deep-sea. Fast-moving, large volume landslides can potentially trigger destructive …

Atolls, which develop as reef-building coral platforms extend to near sea level, typically consist of a shallow reef flat encircling a central lagoon. Often, sub-aerial islets, kn…
