Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Channel steepness index, ks, is a metric derived from the stream power model that, under
certain conditions, scales with relative rock uplift rate. Channel steepness index is a property …

Several landscape evolution models have been proposed so far to explain the dynamic
feedback between Earth surface processes and tectonics in the Zagros Mountains …

Fluvial terraces, longitudinal river profiles, and growth strata carry comparable records of the
deformation history in tectonically active mountain belts. In the northern Apennines, these …

Evidence from landscape evolution may provide critical constraints for past geodynamic
processes, but has been limited by the large uncertainties of topographic reconstructions …

The extent to which climate and tectonics can be coupled rests on the degree to which
topography and erosion rates scales linearly. The stream power incision model (SPIM) is …

The evolution of subduction forearcs as archived in the tectonic and geomorphic record
serves to constrain geodynamic models of many convergent plate margins. This paper …

It is generally accepted that a river long profile contains both temporal and spatial signals on
uplift rate. The uplift history (temporal variation) inferred from the channel profile will be …

Hypothesized feedbacks between climate and tectonics are mediated by the relationship
between topography and long-term erosion rates. While many studies show monotonic …

The uplift history of the Pamir-Tian Shan orogens remains debated, and is crucial to
understanding the aridification of Central Asia. To address this question, we performed …
