Understanding the manner and degree to which topography in active mountain ranges
reflects deformation of the Earth's surface remains a first order goal of tectonic …

▪ 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 …

The uplift of orogenic plateaus has been assumed to be coincident with the fluvial incision of
the gorges that commonly cut plateau margins. The Mekong River, which drains the eastern …

The stream power incision model (SPIM) is a cornerstone of quantitative geomorphology. It
states that river incision rate is the product of drainage area and channel slope raised to the …

Landscape Evolution | GeoScienceWorld Books | GeoScienceWorld Skip to Main Content …

Efforts to extract information about climate and tectonics from topography commonly assume
that river networks are static. Drainage divides can migrate through time, however, and …

This review article presents recent advances in the field of biogeomorphology related to the
reciprocal coupling between Earth surface processes and landforms, and ecological and …

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 …

It has been long hypothesized that topography, as well as climate and rock strength, exert
first order controls on erosion rates. Here we use detrital cosmogenic 10Be from 50 basins …

The Earth's surface is shaped by tectonics and climate. This simple statement implies that
we should, in principle, be able to use the landscape as an archive of both tectonic rates and …
