Drone LiDAR surveys of abandoned roads reveal long-term debris-flow hazards

A research team led by University of Tsukuba has developed a new method to estimate long-term debris supply from steep slopes by measuring debris accumulated on decades-old abandoned roads. Debris ...

Ice Age erosion may explain Appalachians' smoother northern peaks

Hike north on the Appalachian Trail and the scenery slowly transforms. Rugged, steep ridgelines in Tennessee and Virginia soften into the broad summits and smooth peaks of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
