Landslides make rivers mobile and sculpt the landscape like painters do.
Read more on the Art of Landslides in our new paper: doi.org/10.1029/2022JF006745. With @WVU_ESD @IrinaOvereem and @geomorphtucker . Thanks to @CSDMS and @JGREarthSurface!

Hot off the press: Madagascar is eroding slowly but regional differences exist. Thanks @BrosensLiesa for the great collaboration! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
15 May 2023
On long timescales (30-250 kyr) Madagascar is eroding at a low pace, with 10Be erosion rates ranging between 2 and 50 mm/kyr. This confirms that subtropical environments, even when characterised by strong relief and steep slopes, can be geomorphically stable over long timepans

My mind is blown by this global geological map resource macrostrat.org/map/#x=16&y=2… Just zoom into somewhere you know and look at the detail…
