The transfer of organic carbon from the terrestrial biosphere to the oceans via erosion and riverine transport constitutes an important component of the global carbon cycle. More than one third of this organic carbon flux comes from sediment-laden ri... Read More about Tropical-cyclone-driven erosion of the terrestrial biosphere from mountains.

Riverine particulate organic carbon from an active mountain belt: importance of landslides (2008)
Journal Article
Hilton, R., Galy, A., & Hovius, N. (2008). Riverine particulate organic carbon from an active mountain belt: importance of landslides. Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 22, Article GB1017. https://doi.org/10.1029/2006gb002905

We investigate the routing and transfer of particulate organic carbon (POC) from the western Southern Alps, New Zealand, using organic carbon (Corg) and nitrogen (Norg) concentrations and stable carbon isotopes (δ¹³Corg). In this active mountain belt... Read More about Riverine particulate organic carbon from an active mountain belt: importance of landslides.
