Human impacts on headwater fluvial systems in the northern and central Andes
CP Harden - Geomorphology, 2006 - Elsevier
South America delivers more freshwater runoff to the ocean per km2 land area than any
other continent, and much of that water enters the fluvial system from headwaters in the …

The stream power river incision model: Evidence, theory and beyond
D Lague - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Understanding earth's eroding surface with 10Be
EW Portenga, PR Bierman - 2011 - scholarworks.uvm.edu
For more than a century, geologists have sought to measure the distribution of erosion rates
on Earth's dynamic surface. Since the mid-1980s, measurements of in situ 10Be, a …

Beyond threshold hillslopes: Channel adjustment to base-level fall in tectonically active mountain ranges
Numerous empirical and model-based studies argue that, in general, hillslopes and river
channels increase their gradients to accommodate high rates of base-level fall. To date …

Landscape form and millennial erosion rates in the San Gabriel Mountains, CA
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 role of landslides in mountain range evolution
O Korup, AL Densmore, F Schlunegger - Geomorphology, 2010 - Elsevier
We review the role of landslides in current concepts of the topographic development of
mountain ranges. We find that many studies in this field address basin-or orogen-scale …

Riverine Li isotope fractionation in the Amazon River basin controlled by the weathering regimes
We report Li isotope composition (δ 7 Li) of river-borne dissolved and solid material in the
largest River system on Earth, the Amazon River basin, to characterize Li isotope …
