Grain size in landscapes

LS Sklar - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Earth's terrestrial topography evolves in response to the interaction of tectonics, climate, and
lithology. Recent discoveries suggest that the grain size of sediments produced on hillslopes …

Quantification of rock control in geomorphology

AS Goudie - Earth-Science Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
Rock control, the influence of rock properties on landform development, has for long been a
relatively under-researched topic, but numerous techniques have been developed …

Bedrock fracture influences on geomorphic process and form across process domains and scales

DN Scott, EE Wohl - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Fractures are discontinuities in rock that can be exploited by erosion. Fractures regulate
cohesion, profoundly affecting the rate, style, and location of Earth surface processes. By …

Fluvial bevelling of topography controlled by lateral channel mobility and uplift rate

A Bufe, C Paola, DW Burbank - Nature Geoscience, 2016 - nature.com
Valley morphologies of rivers crossing zones of active uplift range from narrow canyons to
broad alluvial surfaces. They provide illuminating examples of the fundamental, but poorly …

Alluvial cover controlling the width, slope and sinuosity of bedrock channels

JM Turowski - Earth Surface Dynamics, 2018 - esurf.copernicus.org
Bedrock channel slope and width are important parameters for setting bedload transport
capacity and for stream-profile inversion to obtain tectonics information. Channel width and …

Flow directionality of pristine meandering rivers is embedded in the skewing of high-amplitude bends and neck cutoffs

X Guo, D Chen, G Parker - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2019 - pnas.org
Information concerning the dynamics of river meandering is embedded in their planforms.
Here, we focus on how bend skewing varies with increasing sinuosity, and how flow …

Develo** and exploring a theory for the lateral erosion of bedrock channels for use in landscape evolution models

AL Langston, GE Tucker - Earth Surface Dynamics, 2018 - esurf.copernicus.org
Understanding how a bedrock river erodes its banks laterally is a frontier in geomorphology.
Theories for the vertical incision of bedrock channels are widely implemented in the current …

The SPACE 1.0 model: A Landlab component for 2-D calculation of sediment transport, bedrock erosion, and landscape evolution

CM Shobe, GE Tucker… - Geoscientific Model …, 2017 - gmd.copernicus.org
Models of landscape evolution by river erosion are often either transport-limited (sediment is
always available but may or may not be transportable) or detachment-limited (sediment must …

A physics-based model for fluvial valley width

JM Turowski, A Bufe, S Tofelde - Earth Surface Dynamics, 2024 - esurf.copernicus.org
The width of fluvial valley floors is a key parameter to quantifying the morphology of
mountain regions. Valley floor width is relevant to diverse fields including sedimentology …

[HTML][HTML] Continuous measurements of valley floor width in mountainous landscapes

FJ Clubb, EF Weir, SM Mudd - Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 - esurf.copernicus.org
Mountainous landscapes often feature alluviated valleys that control both ecosystem
diversity and the distribution of human populations. Alluviated, flat valley floors also play a …
