Isolating lithologic versus tectonic signals of river profiles to test orogenic models for the Eastern and Southeastern Carpathians

B Gailleton, HD Sinclair, SM Mudd… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Fluvial morphology is affected by a wide range of forcing factors, which can be external,
such as faulting and changes in climate, or internal, such as variations in rock hardness or …
