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 …

Earth's climate affects nearly all aspects of landscape evolution, from the breakdown of rock
to the delivery of sediment to the oceans. Yet quantifying climate's influence on landscapes …

The ongoing debate about the nature of coupling between climate and tectonics in mountain
ranges derives, in part, from an imperfect understanding of how topography, climate …

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 …

Quantitative analysis of digital topographic data is an increasingly important part of many
studies in the geosciences. Initially, performing these analyses was a niche endeavor …

Changing climatic conditions have led to a significant increase in the magnitude and
frequency of extreme rainfall events in the Central Andes of South America. These events …

Bedrock river incision drives the development of much of Earth's surface topography,,, and
thereby shapes the structure of mountain belts and modulates Earth's habitability through its …

Previous research demonstrates that large basins on the periphery of the northern edge of
the Tibetan Plateau were partitioned during development of intrabasin mountain ranges …

Landscape denudation in actively deforming mountain ranges is controlled by a
combination of rock uplift and surface runoff induced by precipitation. Whereas the relative …

Erosion in the Himalaya is responsible for one of the greatest mass redistributions on Earth
and has fueled models of feedback loops between climate and tectonics. Although the …
