Abstract. Long-term landscape evolution is controlled by tectonic and climatic forcing acting through surface processes. Rivers are the main drivers of continental denudation because they set the base level of most hillslopes. The mechanisms of fluvial incision are thus a key focus in geomorphological research and require accurate...

Investigating landscapes evolution and their responses to tectonic or climatic perturbation requires accurate representations and models of surfaces processes. Rivers are keys agents of the transmission of external forcing through landscape and the main drivers of continental denudation. For these reasons the mechanisms of fluvial incision have...

North Morocco (region Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima) is characterized by high demographic and economic pressures, which intensify the vulnerability of the coastal areas. Morocco lies both along the Atlantic and the Mediterranean coast, having a rich relief of mountain chains (Atlas and Rif). This diverse context induces the challenge of adapting...

L'évolution des paysages résulte de l'action conjointe des forçages tectoniques et climatiques. Ces processus n'agissent pas de manières continus mais via des événements ponctuels (séismes, glissements de terrains, crues majeurs) qui, intégrés sur des temps longs conduisent à la formation des reliefs. L'incision fluviale contrôle la dénudation...

In a comment on our manuscript recently published in this journal (Ivčević et al., 2020) [1], Salhi (2020) raises concerns about the manuscript and the study on which it was based, concluding that 'the article provides a distorted picture of the reality in the study area'. The points raised by the comment are mainly dealing with the literature...

The Provence region, located in the south-east of France, has experienced a few destructive earthquakes during the last centuries, such as the 1909 Lambesc earthquake or the 1509 and 1708 Manosque earthquakes. However, faults in the area experience slow slip rates (< 0.1 mm/yr) that preclude quantification of deformation using geodetic...
