Drainage divides separate Earth's surface into individual river basins. Divide migration
impacts the evolution of landforms, regional climate, ecosystems and biodiversity. In this …

Abstract Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) and Sediment Generation (SG) are two branches
of sedimentary geology which are complementary, although their full integration remains …

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 …

Efforts to extract information about climate and tectonics from topography commonly assume
that river networks are static. Drainage divides can migrate through time, however, and …

We present a new algorithm to solve the basic stream power equation, which governs
channel incision and landscape evolution in many geomorphic settings. The algorithm is …

Long-term environmental stability has long been thought to lead to the accumulation of
species and, therefore, higher diversity 1. However, species richness and the time available …

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 …

Erosion influences the dynamical evolution of mountains. However, evidence for the impact
of surface processes on tectonics mostly relies on the circumstantial coincidence of rugged …

One of the most conspicuous features of a mountain belt is the main drainage divide. Divide
location is influenced by a number of parameters, including tectonic uplift and horizontal …

Mass wasting caused by large-magnitude earthquakes chokes mountain rivers with several
cubic kilometres of sediment. The timescale and mechanisms by which rivers evacuate …
