T21. Magnitude, rates, and timing of landscape evolution, and quantifying techniques

The interplay between endogenous and exogenous processes produces various landscapes on the Earth's surface. Tectonics, climate, surface processes, and human activities all leave their fingerprints on the topography, making it difficult for researchers to discriminate the contribution of each process in shaping the landscape. Furthermore, hillslope and fluvial dynamics develop in a setting intensely affected by Late Quaternary human activity and climate change.
This session aims to explore, in a broader perspective, the interaction and feedback among geomorphological and human-driven surface processes, climate, and tectonics occurring at different time scales.
We welcome studies that aim at quantifying the various aspects of an evolving topography adopting a multidisciplinary approach, thus including (but not limited to) techniques such as field-based analysis of geomorphic markers (e.g., terraces, paleo-shorelines, deltas, moraines, landslides), geochronological techniques (e.g., OSL, cosmogenic nuclides, thermochronology, radiocarbon dating), geodesy and remote sensing (e.g., GPS, UAV, and satellite imagery analyses), GIS-based and other geo-informatic techniques, and numerical landscape evolution modelling.
