Find it here! If some rock units deliver large boulders to rivers through landsliding, but other rock units don’t, does this leave a meaningful imprint on the shape of the landscape? We mapped 1,833 boulders, analyzed topography and landslide inventories, and applied a simple numerical model to understand how lithologically controlled boulder delivery influences landscape response to tectonics. This data-intensive undertaking was only possible thanks to fantastic collaborators Georgie Bennett, Greg Tucker, Kevin Roback, Scott Miller, and Josh Roering!
