An understanding of how tectonic, erosional and climatic forces interact to shape mountains permits clearer insights into Earth's history Mountains have evoked awe and inspired artists and adventurers ...

The Earth’s continental topography reflects the balance between tectonics, climate, and their interaction through erosion. However, understanding the impact of individual factors on Earth’s topography ...

North East Scotland is an area characterised by selective glacial erosion. In this study a steady-state maximum ice sheet model is used to calculate basal ice sheet temperatures for the bed of a ...
