TLDR
In this article, the authors developed a conceptual model of Chine evolution by applying space for time substitution methods using empirical data gathered from Chine channel surveys and remotely sensed data, identifying a sequence of evolutionary stages, which are classified based on a suite of morphometric indices and associated processes.

Comparison of Airborne and Terrestrial Lidar Estimates of Seacliff Erosion in Southern California

TL;DR: In this paper, the cliff cliff changes evaluated using both terrestrial and airborne lidar are compared along a 400 m length of coast in Del Mar, California, and the terrestrial system was 30 percent larger than the corresponding airborne estimate.

Shoreline Geometry: DSAS as a Tool for Historical Trend Analysis

TL;DR: The Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) as discussed by the authors is a software extension within the Environmental System Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS© that has been used by many researchers in measuring, quantifying, calculating and monitoring shoreline rate-of-change statistics from multiple historic shoreline positions and sources.

Extreme rates of channel incision and shape evolution in response to a continuous, rapid base-level fall, the Dead Sea, Israel

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first attempt to apply integrated time series of high resolution DEMs, change detection maps, Differential Global Position System measurements, and field methods to monitor vertical and horizontal entrenchment rates, as well as the evolution of the cross-sectional shape of channels in response to a continuous and rapidly lowering base level.

Dynamics of the stream‐power river incision model: Implications for height limits of mountain ranges, landscape response timescales, and research needs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the stream power erosion model in an effort to elucidate its consequences in terms of large-scale topographic (fluvial) relief and its sensitivity to tectonic and climatic forcing.

Tectonics from topography: Procedures, promise, and pitfalls

TL;DR: In this article, a method for extracting topographic indices of longitudinal profi le shape and character from digital topographic data is described, which can then be used to delineate breaks in scaling that may be associated with tectonic boundaries.

Landscape response to tectonic forcing: Digital elevation model analysis of stream profiles in the Mendocino triple junction region, northern California

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate and calibrate the shear stress (or similar unit stream-power) bedrock-incision model by studying stream profiles in a tectonically active mountain range.

Channel changes in badlands

TL;DR: In this paper, the erosion rate was proportional to the 4/9ths power of drainage area and the 2/3rds power of gradient in sand-bed alluvial channels.

Principles of Geology

Charles Lyell
TL;DR: One of the key works in the nineteenth-century battle between science and Scripture, Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology (1830-33) sought to explain the geological state of the modern Earth by considering the long-term effects of observable natural phenomena as discussed by the authors.
