Grain Size in Landscapes
LS Sklar - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2024 - annualreviews.org
Earth's terrestrial topography evolves in response to the interaction of tectonics, climate, and
lithology. Recent discoveries suggest that the grain size of sediments produced on hillslopes …

Interaction among alluvial cover, bed roughness, and incision rate in purely bedrock and alluvial‐bedrock channel
A major control on bedrock incision is the interaction between alluvial cover and erosive
mobile grains. The extent of alluvial cover is typically predicted as a function of relative …

The SPACE 1.0 model: A Landlab component for 2-D calculation of sediment transport, bedrock erosion, and landscape evolution
Models of landscape evolution by river erosion are often either transport-limited (sediment is
always available but may or may not be transportable) or detachment-limited (sediment must …

Modeling sediment transport in ice‐walled subglacial channels and its implications for esker formation and proglacial sediment yields
Sediment yields from glacierized basins are used to quantify erosion rates on seasonal to
decadal timescales as well as conditions at the glacier bed, and eskers hold valuable …
