Journal ArticleDOI
Bedrock incision, rock uplift and threshold hillslopes in the northwestern Himalayas
Douglas W. Burbank,John Leland,Eric J. Fielding,Robert S. Anderson,Nicholas Brozovic,Mary R. Reid,Chris Duncan +6 more
TL;DR: The topography of tectonically active mountain ranges reflects a poorly understood competition between bedrock uplift and erosion as mentioned in this paper, and the Indus river incises through the bedrock at extremely high rates (2-12 mm yr-1).
Journal ArticleDOI
River incision into bedrock: Mechanics and relative efficacy of plucking, abrasion and cavitation
TL;DR: The relative importance of various processes and the nature of the interplay between them are inferred from detailed observations of the morphology of erosional forms on channel bed and banks, and their spatial distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glaciers dominate eustatic sea-level rise in the 21st century.
Mark F. Meier,Mark B. Dyurgerov,Ursula K. Rick,Shad O'Neel,W. Tad Pfeffer,Robert S. Anderson,Suzanne P. Anderson,A. F. Glazovsky +7 more
TL;DR: The contribution of these smaller glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, in part due to marked thinning and retreat of marine-terminating glaciers associated with a dynamic instability that is generally not considered in mass-balance and climate modeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Sedimentary rocks at Yellowknife Bay (Gale crater) on Mars include mudstone sampled by the Curiosity rover, indicating that clay mineral formation on Mars extended beyond Noachian time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of eolian saltation.
Robert S. Anderson,Peter K. Haff +1 more
TL;DR: The evolution of the saltating population and all its characteristic profiles is calculated from inception by pure aerodynamic entrainment through to steady state, and calculated steady state mass fluxes are within the range ofmass fluxes measured in wind tunnel experiments.
