Experimental modelling applied to the study of orogenic wedge dynamics has been a
subject of fruitful research for more than 30years, although the technique dates back as far …

A widening variety of applications is diversifying geomorphometry (digital terrain modelling),
the quantitative study of topography. An amalgam of earth science, mathematics …

Introduction River networks, the backbone of most landscapes on Earth, collect and
transport water, sediment, organic matter, and nutrients from upland mountain regions to the …

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 …

David Knighton's best-selling book looks at the wide range of forms developed by natural
rivers and the processes responsible for that development. The book combines empirical …

High-resolution data enabling identification and analysis of the hydrometeorological
causative processes of flash floods have been collected and analysed for 25 extreme flash …

Mechanistic theories of fluvial erosion are essential for quantifying large‐scale orogenic
denudation. We examine the topographic implications of two leading classes of river erosion …

Stream power has a significant influence on many form and process attributes of the fluvial
system. Using a similar approach to that suggested by DM Lawler in 1992 and 1995, a …

The Earth's topography is shaped by surface processes that operate on various scales. In
particular, river processes control landscape dynamics over large length scales, whereas …

Theories of scaling apply wherever similarity exists across many scales. This similarity may
be found in geometry and in dynamical processes. Universality arises when the qualitative …
