DOI: 10.1002/esp.4812
Abstract: Glacial erosion is the basic process that has shaped the landscapes of the Alps. Despite intense research over centuries, and the use of various techniques, determination of glacial erosion rates remains challenging. This is not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4932
Abstract: High mountainous areas are geomorphologically active environments which are strongly shaped by redistribution of sediments and soils. With the projected climate warming in the twenty‐first century and the continued retreat of glaciers, the area of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.11.004
Abstract: Abstract Landscape evolution modeling and global compilations of exhumation data indicate that a wetter climate, mainly through orographic rainfall, can govern the spatial distribution of erosion rates and crustal strain across an orogenic wedge. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.01.029
Abstract: Abstract Erosion rates derived using dendrogeomorphology have been used to quantify slope degradation in many localities globally. However, with the exception of the western United States, most of these estimates are derived from short-lived trees… read more here.
