Landslides make rivers mobile and sculpt the landscape like painters do.

Read more on the Art of Landslides in our new paper: https://t.co/VWu20nHtc3. With @WVU_ESD @IrinaOvereem and @geomorphtucker . Thanks to @CSDMS and @JGREarthSurface!

Hot off the press: Madagascar is eroding slowly but regional differences exist. Thanks @BrosensLiesa for the great collaboration! https://t.co/CzKQz19F1g

[Liesa Brosens @BrosensLiesa]

On long timescales (30-250 kyr) Madagascar is eroding at a low pace, with 10Be erosion rates ranging between 2 and 50 mm/kyr. This confirms that subtropical environments, even when characterised by strong relief and steep slopes, can be geomorphically stable over long timepans
