| Abstract: | Groundwater seepage has been shown to unambiguously lead to channel formation inunconsolidated sand to gravel sized sediments. However, its role in the evolution of bedrocklandscapes remains controversial. In this study, we use the coastline of the Maltese Islands as a case study to establish if and how groundwater seepage can form box canyons in limestones. |
