A process-based landscape and channel classification is proposed as a framework for assessing watershed response to natural and anthropogenic environmental change. Our proposed classification is based on a hierarchy of process-regimes at several spatial scales: i) geomorphic province, ii) watershed, iii) valley segment, iv) channel reach, and v) channel unit. The geomorphic province level ident...

Alluvial fans in southern Monglia occur along a group of narrow discontinuous mountain ranges which formed as transpressional uplifts along a series of strike-slip faults. They provide information on the nature of neotectonic activity in the eastern Gobi Altai range and on palaeoclimate change. Alluvial fan formation was dominated by various geomorphological processes largely controlled by clim...

The fluvial sedimentary record is largely composed of deposits from relatively common flow events, rather than more catastrophic scour-and-fill events. At the scales bedforms, such are preserved within stratigraphic because they rapidly accumulate within, and protected by, morphodynamic topographic depressions that occur naturally in system as a result feedbacks between flow, sediment transport...
