Abstract

The article focuses on a study regarding impact of mountain glaciation on rapid oxidation of rock-bound organic carbon. It mentions the exposure of organic matter in rocks to oxidative weathering at the planet Earth's surface releases carbon dioxide. It also mentions th use of rhenium to track the oxidation of rock-bound organic carbon in the mountain watersheds.

Abstract

The article discusses on long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes. Topics discusses include information on erosion provenance using a novel combination of the isotopic and molecular composition of organic matter in Lake Paringa, New Zealand; shift in erosion provenance after four large earthquakes over 1000 years; and role of repeated large earthquakes in erosion at high elevations.
