Although the general concept that escarpments in layered rocks retreat through time was
offered more than 150 years ago, recognizing the exact mechanisms, patterns and rates of …

Coarse clastic sedimentary successions cover approximately-one fourth of the continental
surface and give rise to distinctive landforms at a variety of scales. Rock-mass strength …

Salt crystallization and phase change in porous media cause significant deterioration of
cultural heritage made of stones and bricks. In this study, laboratory experiments on salt …

Despite recent major advances, complex factors contributing to the development of
sandstone ruiniform relief still require recognition, particularly with respect to environmental …

This paper provides a review of recent publications dealing with different issues of
sandstone geomorphology, which was long an under-researched theme. Nevertheless …

Mechanical weathering comprises the physical breakdown of rock that occurs upon
reaching Earth's surface. There, the ongoing evolution and interactions of topography …

Abstract Contemporary airborne Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data
provide a high-resolution input to quantitative studies within various branches of …

Cavernous weathering (honeycombs, tafoni) is a common weathering feature of both natural
and artificial exposures. Honeycombs are known from various environments but are best …

Mesas are residual landforms typical for layered rock sequences, formed due to tableland
dissection and cliff retreat. Caprock cliffs are characteristic elements of mesa morphology …

Honeycomb weathering is a common phenomenon found on various rock surfaces all
around the world. However, honeycomb formation mechanisms are still poorly understood …
