Chemical weathering can control how susceptible bedrock in river beds is to erosion, according to new research. In addition to explaining how climate can influence landscape erosion rates, the results ...

Rivers are Earth’s arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers carve out a single pathway, while ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Rivers are Earth’s arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers carve out a ...

The safety of earthen embankments, including levees and dams, depends in large part on how resistant they are to erosion. That resistance can hinge on the soil materials used in their construction.

Earth's climate interacts with so called surface processes -- such as landslides or river erosion -- and tectonics to shape the landscape that we see. In some regions, the sheer force of these ...

A shoreline stabilization project along the York River adjacent to the Colonial Parkway is nearing completion of its current phases, according to National Park Service officials. Over past three years ...

WASILLA -- Erosion from the Matanuska River is threatening at least two Sutton homes, but no solutions appear close. As many as a half-dozen homes along a three-mile section of highway between Sutton ...
