Geomorphology of conglomerate terrains – Global overview

Coarse sediment supply sets the slope of bedrock channels in rapidly uplifting terrain: Field and topographic evidence from eastern Taiwan

“…It has been well‐documented that the mass strength of rock controls the occurrence of threshold hillslopes (i.e., angle of repose), and the insensitivity of gradient to uplift rate when mass wasting outpaces soil production (Figure 9) (Montgomery & Brandon, 2002; Ouimet et al, 2009; Roering, 2012). In addition to rock resistance, rock textures, degree of diagenesis, durability against weathering, and overprinting properties (e.g., fractures) have been reported to provide complicated controls on rock mass strength that sets the threshold gradient for hillslope and the size of sediment production (e.g., Marshall & Sklar, 2012; Migoń, 2020; Neely et al, 2019; Sklar et al, 2017).…”

Micro-Mechanisms and Implications of Continental Red Beds

“…Research on continental red beds can be traced back to the 19th century [5][6][7]. Geologists have conducted a wide range of research regarding geomorphology, paleomagnetism, paleontology, energy, and minerals [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, debates on the formation mechanism of their color still exist.…”
