Bedrock Hillslopes to Deltas: New Insights into Landscape Mechanics - Sharp Lecture

AGU via YouTube

Overview

Explore the frontiers of landscape mechanics in this AGU Fall Meeting 2012 Sharp Lecture by Michael Lamb. Delve into new insights on sediment transport processes and morphodynamics, from bedrock hillslopes to deltas. Examine case studies that challenge existing transport theories and identify transitions in dominant geomorphic processes across steep slopes, high discharges, and dynamic boundary conditions. Learn about sediment transport on rocky hillslopes, grain stability in mountain channels, canyon formation by extreme floods, and the coupling of coastal rivers to offshore plumes. Discover how integrating topographic and geochronologic constraints with field and laboratory experiments can lead to mechanistic transport theories applicable across human and geomorphic timescales.
