Earth surface processes: interacting with the solid Earth, ice and sea level Surface processes change the Earth surface dramatically and interact with the solid Earth, ice, and thereby also global sea level. For instance, changes in topography due to glacial …
Structural geometries associated with extension, inversion and strike slip deformation; insights from field observations along the northern Somerset coast, southwest UK. Several kilometre long sections of the northern Somerset coastline showcase excellent exposures of faults and associated structures within …
