From landscapes into geological history

Philip A. Allen1

Top

Erosional and depositional landscapes are linked by the sediment-routing system. Observations over a wide range of timescales might show how these landscapes are translated into the narrative of geological history.

Earth's landscape, shaped by the interplay between tectonics and climate, is a dynamic interface over which many biogeochemical cycles operate. The mass fluxes associated with the physical, biological and chemical processes acting across the landscape involve the transport of particulate sediment and solutes.
