Earthquakes present severe hazards for people and economies and can be primary drivers of landscape change yet their impact to river-channel networks remains poorly known. Here we show evidence for an abrupt earthquake-triggered avulsion of the Ganges Ri

Although risk perception of natural hazards has been identified as an important determinant for sound policy design, there is limited empirical research on
Two distinct geography-related genetic lineages, West and East, were detected inQ. glaucapopulations fromnSSR data. Genetic differentiation among populations in the western region is higher than in the eastern region. More complex topography in the west than in the east could provide higher stability...
Permafrost and glaciers are being degraded by the warming effects of climate change. The impact that this degradation has on slope stability in mountainous
The Chile Triple Junction, where the hot active spreading centre of the Chile Rise system subducts beneath the South American plate, offers a unique opportunity to understand the influence of the anomalous thermal regime on an otherwise cold continental
We calculated a yearly velocity at the intersection points of the tectonic plates and countries borders. We do not account for changes in sea level (Figure 2). The subject of this research was only to determine the impact of tectonic plate movement on the administrative area of countries. It...
The steep and rectilinear morphology of this small subglacial lake also confirms its tectonic origin. Here, the error in the modeled area of this lake can be attributed to the weak performance of the model for steep and small glaciers.
