Periglacial resurfacing of hillslopes and channels with large boulders in the Virginia Appalachians

Michelle L. Fame et al.

Summary: In this study, cosmogenic 10Be exposure dating was used to determine the timing of boulder deposition in the Virginia Appalachians and Virginia Blue Ridge. The study found that these boulders were deposited during post-glacial cold periods, with no deposition occurring during interglacial and climate degeneration periods. Furthermore, the study discovered that the resurfacing of hillslopes during each return to cold climate conditions provides insights into how climatic oscillations impact the landscape cycle.

Surface-subsurface connectivity in the morphological evolution of sandstone-capped tabular hills - How much analogy to karst?

Piotr Migon et al.

Summary: This paper presents evidence for the significant role of surface-subsurface connectivity in the geomorphological evolution of sandstone-capped mesas. The study uses high-resolution LiDAR data and fieldwork to analyze landforms indicative of underground drainage diversion and sand removal, as well as sedimentary evidence. The results show the importance of structural factors and dissolution in facilitating water and sediment transport. The findings suggest similarities between sandstone-capped mesas and karst systems, particularly silicate karst.

Extensive Frost Weathering Across Unglaciated North America During the Last Glacial Maximum

J. A. Marshall et al.

Summary: The study reveals the significant impact of frost weathering on erosion and climate in unglaciated terrain, especially in North America around 21,000 years ago. This highlights the importance of temperature control on surficial process efficacy in both glacial periods and modern climates.

Chronostratigraphy of talus flatirons and piedmont alluvium along the Book Cliffs, Utah - Testing models of dryland escarpment evolution

Nicholas R. McCarroll et al.

Summary: This study investigates the evolution of dryland escarpments in central Utah, revealing that climate variability plays a key role in driving both sediment production and transport from cliffs. Climate instability, rather than steady glacial-climate conditions, is found to be the main factor influencing talus deposition and cliff retreat.

The role of infrequently mobile boulders in modulating landscape evolution and geomorphic hazards

Charles M. Shobe et al.

Summary: The distribution and movement of boulders play a crucial role in shaping landscapes, influencing hillslope processes, river channel shapes, and geomorphic hazards. Understanding boulder dynamics is essential for studying landscape evolution and self-organization.

The relevance of rock shape over mass-implications for rockfall hazard assessments

Andrin Caviezel et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the influence of rock shape and mass on the complex kinematic behavior of induced single block rockfall events. Mitigating rapid mass movements involves a subtle interplay between field surveys, numerical modeling, and experience. Hazard engineers rely on best practices and historical facts for reproducible and accurate hazard zoning.

The perpetual fragility of creeping hillslopes

Nakul S. Deshpande et al.

Summary: Soil creeps downhill imperceptibly but relentlessly, with the prevalent belief that it is caused by physical and biological disturbances. Laboratory experiments show that even undisturbed sandpiles creep slowly, slowing down as they relax into a lower energy state. Environmental disturbances maintain soil in a perpetually fragile state, preventing hillslopes from stabilizing.
