Lithological controls on hillslope sediment supply: insights from landslide activity and grain size distributions
2018
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms
Outcrop-scale rock strength also controls the grain sizes supplied by bedrock weathering, and influences the degree of coarsening of landslide supply with respect to weathering supply. ...
Landslides are the major source of hillslope sediment supply in this area, and our inventory of ~2800 landslides reveals that landslide sediment flux is dominated by small, shallow landslides. ...

The time scale of river sediment source-to-sink processes in East Asia
2016
Chemical Geology
Different comminution ages are associated with contrasting erosion and weathering regimes and diverse topography between the large Changjiang catchment and small mountainous Taiwan basins. ...
The longer comminution age of the Changjiang sediment is an interacting effect of a longer erosion/ weathering history and sediment trapping effect (and thus slow transfer rate) created by broad floodplains ...

Lateral Marsh Edge Erosion as a Source of Sediments for Vertical Marsh Accretion
2018
Journal of Geophysical Research - Biogeosciences
