Evidence for nonlinear, diffusive sediment transport on hillslopes and implications for landscape morphology

JJ Roering, JW Kirchner… - Water Resources …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Steep, soil‐mantled hillslopes evolve through the downslope movement of soil, driven
largely by slope‐dependent transport processes. Most landscape evolution models …

Modeling channelized and distributed subglacial drainage in two dimensions
