After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

Sea level changes can be driven by either variations in the masses or volume of the oceans,
or by changes of the land with respect to the sea surface. In the first case, a sea level change …

Steep, soil‐mantled hillslopes evolve through the downslope movement of soil, driven
largely by slope‐dependent transport processes. Most landscape evolution models …

Topography acts as a template for numerous landscape processes that include hydrologic,
ecologic, and biologic phenomena. These processes not only interact with each other but …

Landscapes in areas of active uplift and erosion can only remain soil‐mantled if the local
production of soil equals or exceeds the local erosion rate. The soil production rate varies …

Six late Quaternary river terraces, preserved along the Clearwater River in northwestern
Washington State, provide a 140 ka record of long-term incision and uplift across the …

Estimates of marine isotope stage (MIS) 5c and 5a global mean sea level (GMSL) based on
marine terraces and coastal indicators range from 15–37 m and 9–30 m below present …

Along the Asturian coast of northern Spain an uplifted wave-cut platform extends for∼ 100
km east–west. The steep cliff which bounds the gently seaward-dipping platform to the north …

Marine terrace sequences have been investigated along the Talara Arc, a 1000-km-long
stretch of the coast of Ecuador and northern Peru, characterized by subduction with a …

Differences in marine terrace elevations across the Pacific coast of North America have long
been assumed to be a result of differences in the rates of tectonic motion. However, other …
