- W4386060168 abstract "If cooled sufficiently quickly, the disorder of a liquid can be quenched or locked in place; the resulting amorphous solid is glass. Although it appears to be solid on human timescales, glass continues to creep due to thermal vibrations at the molecular scale. Consider now a pile of sand; it too is a disordered system, but the grains are too massive for such thermal effects to be relevant. Yet, soils in nature relentlessly creep, on hillslopes below the angle of repose. The unchallenged dogma is that this creep is driven by churning of soil by (bio)physical disturbances, and diffusion models based on this premise underpin virtually all landscape evolution models (LEMs). River-bed sediments also creep, at flows below the threshold of motion, though this has received far less attention. In this talk I focus on recent work from my group and others that examines the origins of granular creep in hillslope and river systems, and the consequences of these findings for landscape dynamics. Our observations reveal surprises for both geologists and physicists. First, gravity-driven granular creep occurs with minimal disturbance, with rates and styles comparable to field observations. Second, this creep shares deep similarities with the behavior of glass, suggesting that mechanical disturbance in granular systems plays a role akin to thermal fluctuations in molecular systems. Third, fluid-driven creep in bed-load systems has similar behavior to gravity-driven hillslope creep. In both cases this creep acts to harden the bed, by compaction and the creation of structures that resist motion. Thus, sediment beds maintain a memory of their history of forcing, that dictates the threshold for landsliding (hillslopes) or entrainment (rivers). I hope to get some ideas from the audience on where to go next!" @default.
