Denudation processes in a tectonically active rift on different time scales
… or geothermal systems. The study of extensional processes and the factors that further modify the mainly climate-driven surface process regime helps to identify changes in past and present tectonic and geomorphic processes that are ultimately recorded in rift landscapes. The Cenozoic East African …

Denudation rates and geomorphic evolution of the Cape Mountains, determined by the analysis of the in situ-produced cosmogenic 10BE
… from beneath 2-7 km of overburden by large-scale denudation processes affecting the subcontinent during Gondwana break-up (ca. 140 – 65 Ma). Despite its antiquity and location on a passive continental margin, the ruggedness of the present-day topography of the Cape Mountains compares to that of …

Hillslope erosion and weathering rates in Earth's most rapidly uplifting mountains
Knowledge of hillslope erosion rates and processes is necessary for understanding landscape response to tectonic and climatic forcing and for determining the degree to which mountains regulate biogeochemical cycles and global climate. Landslide erosion and soil production are the principle …

From phantom blocks to denudational noise
… evolution. Modern methods for estimating denudation rates enable us to quantitatively express and compare processes of landscape downwearing that can be traced through time and space—from the seemingly intact, though intensely shattered, phantom blocks of the catastrophically fragmented …
