Widespread triggering of landslides by large storms or earthquakes is a dominant mechanism of erosion in mountain landscapes. If landslides occur repeatedly in particular locations within a mountain range, then they will dominate the landscape evolut...

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...

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., Wang, J., McClymont, E., Dahl, J., & 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...

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...
