The geomorphology of the Anthropocene: emergence, status and implications by Antony G. Brown, Stephen Tooth, Joanna Bullard, David S.G. Thomas, Richard C. Chiverrell, Andrew J. Plater, Julian Murton, Varyl R. Thorndycraft, Paola Tarolli, James Rose, John Wainwright, Peter Downs, Rolf Aalto

“…A major challenge in demarcating the Anthropocene is that the balance between human-influenced and natural processes varies over spatial and temporal scales owing to the inherent variability of both human activities (as associated with culture and modes of development) and natural drivers (e.g. tectonic activity and sea level variation). …”

Editorial: submarine geomorphology: new views on an 'unseen' landscape by John Hillier, Frederik Tilmann, Niels Hovius

“…This journal issue promotes a vision where submarine geomorphology i) unites processes typically studied in sub-aerial geomorphology (e.g. landsliding & channel erosion) and marine geophysics (e.g. volcanism, tectonics & geodynamics) ii) strives to progress beyond purely qualitative methods and to employ quantitative approaches in analyses and iii) integrates bathymetry with other surface or subsurface data to enhance the analysis. …”

Hazard assessment for typhoon‐induced coastal flooding and inundation in Shanghai, China by Jie Yin, Ning Lin, Yuhan Yang, William J Pringle, Jinkai Tan, Joannes J Westerink, Dapeng Yu

“…This paper describes an integrated climatological-hydrodynamic method that couples probabilistic hurricane model, storm surge model, inundation model, coastal protection data, and sea level rise projections to estimate tropical cyclone-induced coastal flood inundation hazard in a coastal megacity-Shanghai, China. …”

Submarine geomorphology: quantitative methods illustrated with the Hawaiian volcanoes by John Hillier

“…Submarine geomorphology, like sub-aerial geomorphology, is the study of the Earth's surface in order to better understand tectonic and geomorphic processes. Such processes include volcanism, neo-tectonics (i.e. the activity of geological faults), the escape of hydrocarbons and submarine erosion (e.g. by channel cutting or landslides). …”

Pacific seamount volcanism in space and time by John Hillier

“…As such, when seamounts formed and into which tectonic setting they erupted (i.e. on-ridge or off-ridge) are a useful reflection of how the properties of the lithosphere interact with magma generation in the fluid mantle beneath. …”

A case study using 2019 pre-monsoon snow and stream chemistry in the Khumbu region, Nepal by Heather Clifford, Mariusz Potocki, Inka Koch, Tenzing Sherpa, Mike Handley, Elena Korotkikh, Douglas Introne, Susan Kaspari, Kimberley Miner, Tom Matthews, Baker Perry, Heather Guy, Ananta Gajurel, Praveen Kumar Singh, Sandra Elvin, Aurora Elmore, Alex Tait, Paul Mayewski

“…In agreement with previous work, pre-monsoon aerosol deposition is dominated by dust originating from western sources and less frequently by transport from southerly air mass sources as demonstrated by evidence of one of the strongest recorded pre-monsoon events emanating from the Bay of Bengal, Cyclone Fani. Elevated concentrations of human-sourced metals (e.g., Pb, Bi, As) are found in surface snow and stream chemistry collected in the Khumbu region. …”

Experiments of an IoT-based wireless sensor network for flood monitoring in Colima, Mexico by O Mendoza-Cano, R Aquino-Santos, J López-de la Cruz, Robert Edwards, A Khouakhi, I Pattison, V Rangel-Licea, E Castellanos-Berjan, MA Martinez-Preciado, P Rincón-Avalos, Paul Lepper, A Gutiérrez-Gómez, JM Uribe-Ramos, J Ibarreche, I Perez

“…The network is designed to collect fluvial water level, soil moisture and weather parameters that are transferred to the server and to a web application in real-time using IoT Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol over 3G and Wi-Fi networks. The network is tested during three different events of tropical storms that occurred over the area of Colima during the 2019 tropical cyclones season. …”

Fluvial evacuation of landslide material from bedrock-confined channels under controlled experimental conditions by Edwin Baynes, Charline Bardin, Heide Friedrich

“…The supply of sediment from hillslopes to channels is rarely constant, with discrete events (e.g., landslides) known to transfer large volumes of sediment in geologically-short periods of time, especially in tectonically active areas. …”

Dynamic bedrock channel width during knickpoint retreat enhances undercutting of coupled hillslopes by Edwin Baynes, Dimitri Lague, Philippe Steer, Philippe Davy

“…Mountain landscapes respond to transient tectonic and climate forcing through a bottom-up response of enhanced bedrock river incision that undermines adjoining hillslopes, thus propagating the signal from the valley bottom to the valley ridges. …”

Sediment flux-driven channel geometry adjustment of bedrock and mixed gravel‐bedrock rivers by Edwin Baynes, Dimitri Lague, Philippe Steer, Stéphane Bonnet, Luc Illien

“…Caution is required when using the channel geometry to reconstruct past environmental conditions or to invert for tectonic uplift rates, because multiple configurations of channel geometry can exist for a given discharge, solely due to input Qs.…”
