Journal ArticleDOI
Tropical-cyclone-driven erosion of the terrestrial biosphere from mountains
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured particulate organic carbon load and composition in the LiWu river, Taiwan, during cyclone-triggered floods and found that tropical cyclones may facilitate the delivery of non-fossil particulates organic carbon to the ocean and its subsequent burial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Connectivity as an emergent property of geomorphic systems
Ellen Wohl,Gary Brierley,Daniel Cadol,Tom J. Coulthard,Tim Covino,Kirstie Fryirs,Gordon E. Grant,Robert G. Hilton,Stuart N. Lane,Francis J. Magilligan,Kimberly M. Meitzen,Paola Passalacqua,Ronald E. Poeppl,Sara L. Rathburn,Leonard S. Sklar +14 more
TL;DR: The value in evaluating boundaries between components of geomorphic systems as transition zones and examining the fluxes across them to understand landscape functioning is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobilization and transport of coarse woody debris to the oceans triggered by an extreme tropical storm
A. J. West,Ching Weei Lin,Teng Chiu Lin,Robert G. Hilton,Shou Heng Liu,Chung Te Chang,K. C. Lin,Albert Galy,R. Sparkes,Niels Hovius +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the flux of coarse woody debris (CWD) to the oceans from typho-ontriggered====== mainland landslides in Taiwan, where Morakot made landfall, by combining remote sensing (using FORMOSAT-2 imagery and aerial photography), analysis of forest biomass, and field observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic mountain building: Landslides associated with the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in the context of a generalized model for earthquake volume balance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess earthquake volume balance and the growth of mountains in the context of a new landslide inventory for the Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake in central China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erosion of organic carbon in the Arctic as a geological carbon dioxide sink
Robert G. Hilton,Valier Galy,Jérôme Gaillardet,Mathieu Dellinger,Charlotte Bryant,Matt O'Regan,Darren R. Gröcke,Helen K. Coxall,Julien Bouchez,Damien Calmels +9 more
TL;DR: Offshore, evidence is found for efficient terrestrial organic carbon burial over the Holocene period, suggesting that erosion of organic carbon-rich, high-latitude soils may result in an important geological CO2 sink.
