Morphological evidence for ancient channelized flows (fluvial and fluvial-like landforms) exists on the surfaces of all of the inner planets and on some of the satellites of the Solar System. In some cases, the relevant fluid flows are related to a planetary evolution that involves the global cycling of a volatile component (water for Earth and Mar...

•Land use/design scenarios were evaluated for their effects on soil redistributions.•Scenarios were analysed in terms of soil redistribution using the LandSoil model.•Inappropriate land uses induces higher soil export than landscape design changes.•Land use is a major factor controlling the sediment production.•Landscape design is a major factor co...

In New Caledonia, numerous cays are distributed on platform reefs in the southwest lagoon behind the barrier reef. At Mba Island, a vegetated sand cay in this area, we examined Holocene sea-level change, and reef development and evolution. The late Holocene sea-level curve for the area was updated using newly found fossil microatolls. Component-spe...

Sequential airborne LiDAR surveys were used to reconstruct the sediment budget of a 7-km-long braided river channel in southeastern France following a 14-year return period flood and to improve its accuracy step by step. Data processing involved (i) surface matching of the sequential point clouds, (ii) spatially distributed propagation of uncertain...

A response is given to ‘Discussion: “Streamlined erosional residuals and drumlins in central British Columbia, Canada”’. Emphasis is made that the main purpose of the paper under discussion is to present the recognition of a distinctive landscape pattern in central British Columbia that appears to be an immense anastomosing channel network. A chann...

The lake-rich glacial landscapes of north-eastern central Europe play an important role in the preservation and use of water resources, including protection of biodiversity, carbon storage and promotion of tourism. With a view to the last c. 20 years and the future, a regional ‘syndrome of water shortage’ has been frequently stated, which impairs p...

A very large deep-seated landslide (DSL) in the northern Pyrenees with over ∼1.4×109m3 was mapped and dated based on sedimentation rates and 10Be terrestrial cosmogenic radionuclide surface exposure (CRE) dating. Our analysis on the landslide reveals the role of inherited structures in the landslide process, and highlighted typical gravitational mo...
