Topographic fingerprints of bedrock landslides (2000)
Journal Article
Densmore, A., & Hovius, N. (2000). Topographic fingerprints of bedrock landslides. Geology, 28(4), 371-374. https://doi.org/10.1130/0091-7613%282000%2928%3C371%3Atfobl%3E2.0.co%3B2

Bedrock landslides in mountainous regions may be triggered by either storms or earthquakes; the dominant mechanism in a region affects both landscape evolution and landslide hazard. We describe a simple observational test to distinguish between storm... Read More about Topographic fingerprints of bedrock landslides.

Sediment flux from an uplifting fault block (2000)
Journal Article
Allen, P., & Densmore, A. (2000). Sediment flux from an uplifting fault block. Basin Research, 12(3-4), 367-380. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2117.2000.00135.x

The stratigraphy of rift basins is a direct result of sediment liberation and transport through catchment–fan systems whose dynamics are controlled by both external and internal factors. We investigate the response of catchment–fan systems establishe... Read More about Sediment flux from an uplifting fault block.

Erosion-driven uplift in the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains of East Antarctica (1999)
Journal Article
Paxman, G., Watts, A., Ferraccioli, F., Jordan, T., Bell, R., Jamieson, S., & Finn, C. (1999). Erosion-driven uplift in the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains of East Antarctica. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 452, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2016.07.040

The relative roles of climate and tectonics in mountain building have been widely debated. Central to this debate is the process of flexural uplift in response to valley incision. Here we quantify this process in the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains,... Read More about Erosion-driven uplift in the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains of East Antarctica.

Development of mountainous topography in the Basin Ranges, U.S.A (1999)
Journal Article
Ellis, M., Densmore, A., & Anderson, R. (1999). Development of mountainous topography in the Basin Ranges, U.S.A. Basin Research, 11(1), 21-41. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2117.1999.00087.x

We use the landcape evolution model Zscape to explore quantitatively the development of mountainous topography in the Basin and Range province (formerly the Basin Ranges), USA, as a function of faulting, surface processes and microclimate. Many of th... Read More about Development of mountainous topography in the Basin Ranges, U.S.A.

The generation and degradation of marine terraces (1999)
Journal Article
Anderson, R., Densmore, A., & Ellis, M. (1999). The generation and degradation of marine terraces. Basin Research, 11(1), 7-19. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2117.1999.00085.x

Marine terraces are ephemeral planar landforms. While tectonic and climatic forcings responsible for the generation of existing marine terraces have operated for at least 1 Myr, terraces have been completely removed by erosion above a given altitude...

Landsliding and the evolution of normal fault-bounded mountains (1998)
Journal Article
Densmore, A., Ellis, M., & Anderson, R. (1998). Landsliding and the evolution of normal fault-bounded mountains. Journal of Geophysical Research, 103(B7), 15203-15219. https://doi.org/10.1029/98jb00510

Much of the tectonic and climatic history in high-relief regions, such as the mountains of the western U.S. Basin and Range province, is contained in the morphology of hillslopes, drainage networks, and other landforms that range in scale from 10−1 t...

Tectonic geomorphology of the Ash Hill fault, Panamint Valley, California (1997)
Journal Article

Panamint Valley, in eastern California, is an extensional basin currently bounded by active, dextral-normal oblique-slip faults. There is considerable debate over the tectonic and topographic evolution of the valley. The least-studied structure, the...

Hillslope evolution by bedrock landslides (1997)
Journal Article
Densmore, A., Anderson, R., McAdoo, B., & Ellis, M. (1997). Hillslope evolution by bedrock landslides. Science, 275(5298), 369-372. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.275.5298.369

Bedrock landsliding is a dominant geomorphic process in a number of high-relief landscapes, yet is neglected in landscape evolution models. A physical model of sliding in beans is presented, in which incremental lowering of one wall simulates baselev... Read More about Hillslope evolution by bedrock landslides.

Downstream changes in suspended sediment fluxes in the River Severn, UK (1995)
Book Chapter
Bull, L., Lawler, D., Leeks, G., & Marks, S. (1995). Downstream changes in suspended sediment fluxes in the River Severn, UK. In W. Osterkamp (Ed.), Effects of scale on interpretation and management of sediment and water quality (27-37). International Association of Hydrological Sciences

Movement of waves of fine sediment through catchment systems is important for what it can reveal about catchment dynamics. Previous studies have focused on "managed" systems; few have reported on natural flows from individual events. We report prelim...

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Rockfalls in Hard Rock Coastal Cliffs
Book Chapter
Whadcoat, S., Rosser, N., Brain, M., & Hardy, R. Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Rockfalls in Hard Rock Coastal Cliffs. In J. De Graff, & A. Shakoor (Eds.), Landslides: Putting Experience, Knowledge and Emerging Technologies into Practice (633 - 644). Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists (AEG)

Rock cliffs have been observed to evolve via progressive failure, yet the processes that control progressive failure and how it is spatially manifest are poorly understood. This paper considers the spatial and temporal distribution of rockfalls from... Read More about Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Rockfalls in Hard Rock Coastal Cliffs.
