Antonio Cendrero, Luis M. Forte, Juan Remondo, Juan A. Cuesta‐Albertos
Abstract
Key Points Sedimentation rates and frequency of geomorphic disasters show a marked increase worldwide, especially after midtwentieth century This points to an intensification of geomorphic processes, which could be one of the characteristics of the Anthropocene Land surface change caused by human activities, rather than climate change, is very likely behind the intensification of geomorphic processes
