The study of separating invariants is a recent trend in invariant theory. For a finite group acting linearly on a vector space, a separating set is a set of invariants whose elements separate the orbits of G. In some ways, separating sets often exhib...

Speleothem U-series constraints on scarp retreat rates and landscape evolution: an example from the Severn valley and Cotswold Hills gull-caves, UK (2014)
Journal Article
Farrant, A. R., Noble, S. R., Barron, A. M., Self, C. A., & Grebby, S. (2014).

Journal of the Geological Society, 172, https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2014-028

Modelling landscape evolution requires quantitative estimates of erosional processes. Dating erosional landscape features such as escarpments is usually difficult because of the lack of datable deposits. Some escarpments and valley margins are associ...
