Fluvial archives, a valuable record of vertical crustal deformation
The study of drainage network response to uplift is important not only for understanding river
system dynamics and associated channel properties and fluvial landforms, but also for …

A statistical framework to quantify spatial variation in channel gradients using the integral method of channel profile analysis
We present a statistical technique for analyzing longitudinal channel profiles. Our technique
is based on the integral approach to channel analysis: Drainage area is integrated over flow …

Coupled numerical–analytical approach to landscape evolution modeling
The Earth's topography is shaped by surface processes that operate on various scales. In
particular, river processes control landscape dynamics over large length scales, whereas …

Constraining tectonic uplift and advection from the main drainage divide of a mountain belt
One of the most conspicuous features of a mountain belt is the main drainage divide. Divide
location is influenced by a number of parameters, including tectonic uplift and horizontal …

Long‐term precipitation and late‐stage valley network formation: Landform simulations of Parana Basin, Mars
CJ Barnhart, AD Howard… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We use a computer landform evolution model to show that Noachian‐Hesperian‐aged, late‐
stage valley network formation required numerous and repeated moderate flood events …

Testing fluvial erosion models using the transient response of bedrock rivers to tectonic forcing in the Apennines, Italy
The transient response of bedrock rivers to a drop in base level can be used to discriminate
between competing fluvial erosion models. However, some recent studies of bedrock …

Relative timing of uplift along the Zagros Mountain Front Flexure (Kurdistan Region of Iraq): Constrained by geomorphic indices and landscape evolution modeling
Abstract The Mountain Front Flexure marks a dominant topographic step in the frontal part of
the Zagros Fold–Thrust Belt. It is characterized by numerous active anticlines atop of a …

Topographic response to horizontal advection in normal fault‐bound mountain ranges
Tectonic displacements consist of vertical uplift or subsidence, and horizontal advection. We
consider the effects of tectonic advection on mountain range topography, surface drainage …
