The influence of hillslope angle on landslide initiation and the occurrence of threshold hillslopes The concept of threshold hillslopes has been widely applied to both soil-mantled and bedrock landscapes, postulating that once hillslopes achieve the critical topographic gradient where landslides dominate erosion they cannot steepen further. This process transition …
Title: TBA
Adding stratigraphy to landscape evolution model: basin architecture on passive margins & peneplain preservation First, I will present new results on the influence of dynamic topography on passive continental margin stratigraphy. Quantifying the interaction between surface processes and tectonics/deep Earth …

M 8.1 - 87km SW of Pijijiapan, Mexico https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us2000ahv0#executive Opened discussion about this unusual major normal earthquake (MW8.1 - 70 km depth). The September 8th, 2017, M 8.1 earthquake offshore Chiapas, Mexico, occurred as the result of normal faulting at …
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 …
Mantle exhumation at magma-poor rifted margin: a competition between frictional shear zones and thermally weakened necking domains. Consequences on time of breakup at Galicia/Newfoundland margins. Theunissen Thomas, Huismans Ritske S. Here we present a new analysis and interpretation of basement …
