An integral approach to bedrock river profile analysis
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
Recent theoretical models suggest that topographic characteristics of bedrock channels are
products of interactions among tectonics, substrate resistance, and the climatically …
