The Zagros Mountains are the result of the Arabia/Eurasia collision initiated at~ 35Ma as the
rifted Arabian lithosphere was underthrusted beneath the Iranian plate due to its negative …

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest‐resolution
digital elevation model of the Earth. The project was a joint endeavor of NASA, the National …

The longitudinal profiles of bedrock channels are a major component of the relief structure of
mountainous drainage basins and therefore limit the elevation of peaks and ridges. Further …

▪ Abstract Bedrock rivers set much of the relief structure of active orogens and dictate rates
and patterns of denudation. Quantitative understanding of the role of climate-driven …

Hilly and mountainous landscapes are partially to completely covered with soil under a wide
range of erosion and uplift rates, bedrock type and climate. For soil to persist it must be …

Improved formulation of bedrock erosion laws requires knowledge of the actual processes
operative at the bed. We present qualitative field evidence from a wide range of settings that …

Abrasion by bed load is a ubiquitous and sometimes dominant erosional mechanism for
fluvial incision into bedrock. Here we develop a model for bedrock abrasion by saltating bed …

Geomorphology is currently in a period of resurgence as we seek to explain the diversity,
origins and dynamics of terrain on the Earth and other planets in an era of increased …

Current models of long‐term river incision into bedrock suggest that the local rate of
differential rock uplift should exert a primary control on the gradient of channel longitudinal …

Develo** a quantitative understanding of the factors that control the rate of river incision
into bedrock is critical to studies of landscape evolution and the linkages between climate …
