The blocking of river courses by mass movements is very common in mountainous areas
with deep and narrow valleys. Landslide dams may pose serious threats to people and their …

Understanding the manner and degree to which topography in active mountain ranges
reflects deformation of the Earth's surface remains a first order goal of tectonic …

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 …

Geomorphology is currently in a period of resurgence as we seek to explain the diversity,
origins and dynamics of terrain on the Earth and other planets in an era of increased …

The Earth's surface is shaped by tectonics and climate. This simple statement implies that
we should, in principle, be able to use the landscape as an archive of both tectonic rates and …

Rivers are important agents of change that shape the Earth's surface and evolve through
time in response to fluctuations in climate and other environmental conditions. They are …

Erosion by bedrock river channels is commonly modeled with the stream power equation.
We present a two‐part approach to solving this nonlinear equation analytically and explore …

Research in landscape evolution over millions to tens of millions of years slowed
considerably in the mid‐20th century, when Davisian and other approaches to …

We utilize topographic analysis of channel profiles combined with field measurements of
erosion rates to explore the distribution of channel incision in the Anyemaqen Shan, a broad …

Deep landscape dissection by the Dadu and Yalong rivers on the eastern margin of the
Tibetan plateau has produced high-relief, narrow river gorges and threshold hillslopes that …
