Neogene rejuvenation of central Appalachian topography: Evidence for differential rock uplift from stream profiles and erosion rates

SR Miller, PB Sak, E Kirby, PR Bierman - Earth and Planetary Science …, 2013 - Elsevier
The persistence of topography within ancient orogens remains one of the outstanding
questions in landscape evolution. In the eastern North American Appalachians, this question …

Tectonic and climatic controls on knickpoint retreat rates and landscape response times

AC Whittaker, SJ Boulton - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The rate at which transient knickpoints propagate through a landscape fundamentally
controls the rate of geomorphic response to tectonic and climatic perturbation. Here we …

Dynamic interactions of life and its landscape: feedbacks at the interface of geomorphology and ecology

L Reinhardt, D Jerolmack, BJ Cardinale… - Earth Surface …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
There appears to be no single axis of causality between life and its landscape, but rather,
each exerts a simultaneous influence on the other over a wide range of temporal and spatial …

Chemical weathering response to tectonic forcing: A soils perspective from the San Gabriel Mountains, California

JL Dixon, AS Hartshorn, AM Heimsath… - Earth and Planetary …, 2012 - Elsevier

Differentiating geology and tectonics using a spatial autocorrelation technique for the hypsometric integral

JV Pérez‐Peña, JM Azañón… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Hypsometry is thought to be sensitive to tectonic uplift rates and lithology differences. In this
study we calculated hypsometric integrals (HIs) using as topographic sources two digital …

Detection of transience in eroding landscapes

SM Mudd - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Past variations in climate and tectonics have led to spatially and temporally varying erosion
rates across many landscapes. In this contribution I examine methods for detecting and …
