Modeling the Thermal Dynamics of Rock Glaciers
OBSERVATIONS AND MODELS OF GLACIER CHANGE III POSTER
cryosphere | 13 december 2024
Juliana Ruef, Robert S. Anderson, Bradley Markle
Rock glaciers, ubiquitous landforms in mid-latitude alpine landscapes, are known for their short lengths, thin profiles, and slow movement. Sustaining...

Minimal Ruleset for the Emergence of Mima Mounds
ECOHYDROLOGY AND BIOGEOMORPHOLOGY: HOW BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC INTERACTIONS CAN SHAPE LANDSCAPES AND ECOSYSTEMS ACROSS SCALES III ORAL
earth and planetary surface processes | 13 december 2024
Matthew W. Rossi, Robert S. Anderson
Mima mounds are a generic name for patterned topography where low amplitude, circular features emerge on gently sloped surfaces composed of loose, unc...

Pore Pressure as a Driver of Spalling Scale
BEDROCK BREAKDOWN: THE ROLE OF WEATHERING IN THE EVOLUTION AND FUNCTION OF THE CRITICAL ZONE II POSTER
earth and planetary surface processes | 13 december 2024
Jacob Monahan, Robert S. Anderson, yida zhang
Wildfires break down rock by spalling exposed surfaces. Spalls tend to be one to several cm thick, and ten to tens of cm in diameter. The scale of spa...
