A comparison of bunter sandstone scarps in the Black Forest and the Vosges in Landforms and landform evolution in West Germany.
This paper concentrates on a description of scarps in two structurally and lithologically comparable areas : the Kniebis area of the Black Forest and the Donon area of the Vosges. Differences in the geomorphodynamics can be attributed to differences

The significance of scarp retreat for cenozoic landform evolution on the Colorado Plateau, U.S.A.
In examining whether the denudational efficiency of scarp retreat was sufficient to account for the wide erosional gaps in the sedimentary cover, rates of scarp retreat were determined by using the information of dated volcanic material

Talus and pediment flatirons have developed as a consequence of scarp retreat and alternating slope processes in humid and arid phases. They can be used for the interpretation of geomorphic and tectonic history. As can be deduced from present-day
processual activity, scarp backwearing as a result of slope dissection and base level lowering is more effective during dry phases than in the most humid phases which are characterized by smooth debris-throughput slopes. Present-day activity is also

eroding events are noted, resulting from particular wave, wind, tide combinations. The spatial variability in dune scarping is associated with vegetation and soil development, and slope failures range from granular avalanches to retrogressive rotational
