Carbon export from mountain forests enhanced by earthquake-triggered landslides over millennia (2018)
Journal Article
Frith, N., Hilton, R., Howarth, J., Gröcke, D., Fitzsimons, S., Croissant, T., …Densmore, A. (2018). Carbon export from mountain forests enhanced by earthquake-triggered landslides over millennia. Nature Geoscience, 11(10), 772-776. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-018-0216-3

Rapid ground accelerations during earthquakes can trigger landslides that disturb mountain forests and harvest carbon from soils and vegetation. Although infrequent over human timescales, these co-seismic landslides can set the rates of geomorphic pr...

Early Holocene sea level in the Canadian Beaufort Sea constrained by radiocarbon dates from a deep borehole in the Mackenzie Trough, Arctic Canada (2018)
Journal Article
O’Regan, M., Coxall, H., Hill, P., Hilton, R., Muschitiello, F., & Swärd, H. (2018). Early Holocene sea level in the Canadian Beaufort Sea constrained by radiocarbon dates from a deep borehole in the Mackenzie Trough, Arctic Canada. Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research, 47(4), 1102-1117. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12335

Deglacial and Holocene relative sea level (RSL) in the Canadian Beaufort Sea was influenced by the timing and extent of glacial ice in the Mackenzie River corridor and adjacent coastal plains. Considerable evidence indicates extensive ice cover in th...

Connectivity as an Emergent Property of Geomorphic Systems (2018)
Journal Article
Wohl, E., Brierley, G., Cadol, D., Coulthard, T., Covino, T., Fryirs, K., …Sklar, L. (2019). Connectivity as an Emergent Property of Geomorphic Systems. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 44(1), 4-26. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4434

Connectivity describes the efficiency of material transfer between geomorphic system components such as hillslopes and rivers or longitudinal segments within a river network. Representations of geomorphic systems as networks should recognize that the... Read More about Connectivity as an Emergent Property of Geomorphic Systems.

Technical note: in situ measurement of flux and isotopic composition of CO2 released during oxidative weathering of sedimentary rocks (2018)
Journal Article
Soulet, G., Hilton, R., Garnett, M., Dellinger, M., Croissant, T., Ogrič, M., & Klotz, S. (2018). Technical note: in situ measurement of flux and isotopic composition of CO2 released during oxidative weathering of sedimentary rocks. Biogeosciences, 15(13), 4087-4102. https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-15-4087-2018

Oxidative weathering of sedimentary rocks can release carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere and is an important natural CO2 emission. Two mechanisms operate – the oxidation of sedimentary organic matter and the dissolution of carbonate minerals by s...

Microbial oxidation of lithospheric organic carbon in rapidly eroding tropical mountain soils (2018)
Journal Article
Hemingway, J., Hilton, R., Hovius, N., Eglinton, T., Haghipour, N., Wacker, L., …Galy, V. (2018). Microbial oxidation of lithospheric organic carbon in rapidly eroding tropical mountain soils. Science, 360(6385), 209-212. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aao6463

Lithospheric organic carbon (“petrogenic”; OCpetro) is oxidized during exhumation and subsequent erosion of mountain ranges. This process is a considerable source of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere over geologic time scales, but the mechanisms...
