Morphodynamics: Rivers beyond steady state
The morphology of an alluvial river channel affects the movement of water and sediment
along it, but in the longer run is shaped by those processes. This interplay has mostly been …

[HTML][HTML] The role of infrequently mobile boulders in modulating landscape evolution and geomorphic hazards
A landscape's sediment grain size distribution is the product of, and an important influence
on, earth surface processes and landscape evolution. Grains can be large enough that 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 …

Sediment export, transient landscape response and catchment-scale connectivity following rapid climate warming and Alpine glacier recession
In the face of rapid climate warming, rapid glacier recession should lead to a marked
increase in the spatial extent of the paraglacial zone in glaciated drainage basins. The …

Runoff‐generated debris flows: Observations and modeling of surge initiation, magnitude, and frequency
Runoff during intense rainstorms plays a major role in generating debris flows in many
alpine areas and burned steeplands. Yet compared to debris flow initiation from shallow …

A comprehensive study of various regressions and deep learning approaches for the prediction of friction factor in mobile bed channels
A fundamental issue in the hydraulics of movable bed channels is the measurement of
friction factor (λ), which represents the head loss because of hydraulic resistance. The …

Water yield and sediment export in small, partially glaciated Alpine watersheds in a warming climate
N Micheletti, SN Lane - Water Resources Research, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is expected to modify the hydrological and geomorphological dynamics of
mountain watersheds significantly, so impacting on downstream water yield and sediment …

Testing bedload transport equations with consideration of time scales
A Recking, F Liébault, C Peteuil… - Earth Surface Processes …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Bedload transport is known to be a highly fluctuating temporal phenomenon, even under
constant (mean) flow conditions, as a consequence of stochasticity, bedform migration, grain …

Where and why do submarine canyons remain connected to the shore during sea‐level rise? Insights from global topographic analysis and Bayesian regression
The efficiency of sediment routing from land to the ocean depends on the position of
submarine canyon heads with regard to terrestrial sediment sources. We aim to identify the …
