Quite the landscape. I've put a lot of time into understanding it. This is my version of cat pictures and pretty sunsets
Shaded relief map of a tableland, nearly flat, with deep gullies cutting into it from the north Photo of the same tableland as in the map, with very deep, steep-sided gullies. Grass and bare soil visible on the gully walls. A shed is on the far side of the gullies, on a nearly flat tableland surface.

Intermittent photos of the day: Gullies and an incised stream in a landscape of thick loess, far eastern Inner Mongolia (near Kulun, close to the boundary with Liaoning), 2005.
Deep gullies in thick loess, incised below a tableland surface covered with grazed grassland and scattered trees. A braided stream incised below a loess tableland, with trees on the steep slopes on either side of it.

Those depressions trap surface runoff, limiting erosion of the tableland margins, and enhancing tableland persistence. We support this model with subsurface data, terrain analysis (some of it shown here), and numerical modeling with the Landlab toolkit. 3/5
Shaded relief map of part of a large tableland covered with closed depressions, shaded blue. Red lines indicate surface water flow paths, few of which lead from the interior of the tableland summit to the steep margins.

Looking from one loess tableland to another, across the valley of Frenchman Creek, tributary of the Republican River in western Nebraska. October, 2022, taking the scenic route to Denver.
View from a high point across a valley to a flat-topped tableland in the distance. The landscape is covered by grassland with scattered yuccas. It is fairly early in the morning.

Nevertheless, I decided to leave this out of my first lecture in geomorphology, in favor of a loess tableland and videos of saltating sand on a dune

Is there a more impressive drumlinized landscape than this? Between Columbus and Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Green Bay Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Sentinel 2, Jan 9, 2025, and 1 m lidar. Smaller squares in image are 1/2 X 1/2 mile. US Hwy 151 runs almost parallel to ice flow here.
Satellite image, mostly tan to dark brown fields. Northeast to southwest oriented narrow ridges and troughs are visible. Shaded relief image showing many narrow northwest to southeast oriented ridges of various sizes

Thanks to
@poetrylondon.bsky.social for publishing my poem En la Meseta / On the Tableland in their Autumn Issue.

It’s always such a treat to see the two versions appear side by side, letting readers experience the poem in both Spanish and English 💛💚

Happy (in spite of everything) to share our new paper on loess tablelands, mesa-like landforms of highly erodible sediment, that persist without a resistant caprock for tens of thousands of years, if not longer. Why? 1/5 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Evolution of Loess Tablelands in the Central Great Plains: Relief Generation by Loess Accumulation and the Importance of Closed Depressions
Loess tableland evolution reflects the interaction of loess accumulation generating relief and erosion in response to that relief Tableland erosion using fluvial processes is limited by closed de...

A loess tableland eroding from the inside out. If it's not immediately clear, look at the drainage network in the center of the image. The drainage divide around it is close to dissected margins of the tableland on all sides. Central Loess Plateau south of Luochuan, China. Sentinel 1 SAR image.
A synthetic aperture radar image that is like a shaded relief map of stream-dissected topography. There are high tablelands with dissected slopes dropping to deep valleys. In the center, a large tableland has been dissected from the inside out. There is a reservoir in the upper right of the image.

This year, Waratah are all over. If you have the chance, drive out along Tableland Road in Wentworth Falls for a treat.

These are nearer my home ...

Persistence of depression-covered tablelands leads to long-term storage of sediment within them, along with organic carbon in buried soils found beneath tableland summits but not elsewhere in the landscape. More papers coming soon on those buried soils. Research supported by NSF. 5/5

Slanting light emphasizes shadow and form of an eroded tableland above shallow canyons. A dead tree near the center of the image casts a shadow on the opposite arroyo wall.
