Abstract: Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide concentrations of detrital minerals yield catchment-wide rates at which hillslopes erode. These estimates are commonly used to infer millennial scale denudation patterns and to identify the main controls on mass-balance and landscape… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2019.1683768
Abstract: ABSTRACT Constraining the initial age of the Northern Qaidam Thrust Belt is critical for studying the growth of the Tibetan Plateau. This study presented insights from field observations and seismic profiles, to constrain the structural… read more here.

DOI: 10.7306/gq.1545
Abstract: Non-tectonic, soft-sediment deformation structures occur in mid-Miocene crevasse-splay deposits exposed in the Tomislawice lignite opencast mine in central Poland. The crevasse-splay cross-stratified siliciclastic deposits are underlain by continuously folded and relatively thick lignite beds, and… read more here.
