[HTML][HTML] Comparing methods for calculating channel steepness index
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 …

Stochastic in space and time: 2. Effects of simulating orographic gradients in daily runoff variability on bedrock river incision
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 …

Coarse sediment supply sets the slope of bedrock channels in rapidly uplifting terrain: Field and topographic evidence from eastern Taiwan
The incision rate and steepness of bedrock channels depend on water discharge, uplift rate,
substrate lithology, sediment flux, and bedload size. However, the relative role of these …
