Shredding of environmental signals by sediment transport

TL;DR: In this paper, Jerolmack et al. proposed that sediment transport can act as a nonlinear filter that completely destroys (shreds) environmental signals, i.e., external signals are shredded when their time and amplitude scales fall within the ranges of morphodynamic turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditions for branching in depositional rivers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that branching rivers occur when avulsion is the dominant mechanism of lateral channel motion, i.e., the rapid abandonment of a channel in favor of a new path at lower elevation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aeolian processes at the Mars Exploration Rover Meridiani Planum landing site.

TL;DR: An in situ examination of a martian bright wind streak is presented, which provides evidence consistent with a previously proposed formational model for such features, and it is shown that a widely used criterion for distinguishing between aeolian saltation- and suspension-dominated grain behaviour is different on Mars.
