Primarily, these papers reflect persistent uncertainty that surrounds the mechanisms and timescales of glacial landscape evolution.
Quantifying controls on glacial erosion over geologic timescales is central to understanding the role of Cenozoic climate change on the development of modern mountain belts, yet the mechanisms that produce the distinct relief and topography visible in glaciated regions remain poorly constrained.
A sequence of postglacial terraces in the unglaciated Waipaoa River catchment provides the opportunity to document fluvial incision and sediment flux on an ~ 2000-year timescale since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), which has previously only been undertaken for the entire post-LGM period.
