Bedrock rivers and the geomorphology of active orogens

KX Whipple - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Bedrock rivers set much of the relief structure of active orogens and dictate rates
and patterns of denudation. Quantitative understanding of the role of climate-driven …

Modelling landscape evolution

GE Tucker, GR Hancock - Earth Surface Processes and …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

An integral approach to bedrock river profile analysis

JT Perron, L Royden - Earth surface processes and landforms, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Bedrock river profiles are often interpreted with the aid of slope–area analysis, but noisy
topographic data make such interpretations challenging. We present an alternative …

The stream power river incision model: Evidence, theory and beyond

D Lague - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

A mechanistic model for river incision into bedrock by saltating bed load

LS Sklar, WE Dietrich - Water Resources Research, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Abrasion by bed load is a ubiquitous and sometimes dominant erosional mechanism for
fluvial incision into bedrock. Here we develop a model for bedrock abrasion by saltating bed …

Tectonic and lithologic controls on bedrock channel profiles and processes in coastal California

A Duvall, E Kirby, D Burbank - Journal of Geophysical …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Recent theoretical models suggest that topographic characteristics of bedrock channels are
products of interactions among tectonics, substrate resistance, and the climatically …

Solutions of the stream power equation and application to the evolution of river longitudinal profiles

L Royden, J Taylor Perron - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Long‐term landscape evolution: linking tectonics and surface processes

P Bishop - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms: the …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Knickpoint recession rate and catchment area: the case of uplifted rivers in Eastern Scotland

P Bishop, TB Hoey, JD Jansen… - Earth Surface Processes …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Knickpoint behaviour is a key to understanding both the landscape responses to a base‐
level fall and the corresponding sediment fluxes from rejuvenated catchments, and must be …

Transient fluvial incision in the headwaters of the Yellow River, northeastern Tibet, China

N Harkins, E Kirby, A Heimsath… - Journal of …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
