Preservation of organic carbon during active fluvial transport and particle abrasion (2019)
Journal Article
Scheingross, J., Hovius, N., Dellinger, M., Hilton, R., Repasch, M., Sachse, D., …Turowski, J. (2019). Preservation of organic carbon during active fluvial transport and particle abrasion. Geology, 47(10), 958-962. https://doi.org/10.1130/g46442.1

Oxidation of particulate organic carbon (POC) during fluvial transit releases CO2 to the atmosphere and can influence global climate. Field data show large POC oxidation fluxes in lowland rivers; however, it is unclear if POC losses occur predominant...

Carbon dioxide emissions by rock organic carbon oxidation and the net geochemical carbon budget of the Mackenzie River Basin (2019)
Journal Article
Horan, K., Hilton, R., Dellinger, M., Tipper, E., Galy, V., Calmels, D., …Burton, K. (2019). Carbon dioxide emissions by rock organic carbon oxidation and the net geochemical carbon budget of the Mackenzie River Basin. American journal of science (1880), 319(6), 473-499. https://doi.org/10.2475/06.2019.02

The exposure of organic carbon in rocks to oxidative weathering can release carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere and consume atmospheric oxygen. Alongside volcanism, metamorphism, and the weathering of carbonate minerals by sulfuric acid, this is a...

Monsoonal control on a delayed response of sedimentation to the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (2019)
Journal Article
Zhang, F., Jin, Z., West, A. J., An, Z., Hilton, R. G., Wang, J., …You, C. (2019). Monsoonal control on a delayed response of sedimentation to the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Science Advances, 5(6), https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aav7110

Infrequent extreme events such as large earthquakes pose hazards and have lasting impacts on landscapes and biogeochemical cycles. Sediments provide valuable records of past events, but unambiguously identifying event deposits is challenging because...

Seismic cycles, earthquakes, landslides and sediment fluxes: Linking tectonics to surface processes using a reduced-complexity model (2019)
Journal Article
Croissant, T., Steer, P., Lague, D., Davy, P., Jeandet, L., & Hilton, R. G. (2019). Seismic cycles, earthquakes, landslides and sediment fluxes: Linking tectonics to surface processes using a reduced-complexity model. Geomorphology, 339, 87-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2019.04.017

In tectonically active mountain ranges, landslides triggered by earthquakes mobilise large volumes of sediment that affect river dynamics. This sediment delivery can cause downstream changes in river geometry and transport capacity that affect the ri...

The isotopic composition and fluxes of particulate organic carbon exported from the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau (2019)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Hilton, R. G., Jin, Z., Zhang, F., Densmore, A. L., Gröcke, D. R., …Joshua West, A. (2019). The isotopic composition and fluxes of particulate organic carbon exported from the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 252, 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2019.02.031

Erosion of organic carbon from the terrestrial biosphere and sedimentary rocks plays an important role in the global carbon cycle across a range of timescales. Over geological timescales (>104 years), erosion and burial of particulate organic carbon...
