Testing fluvial erosion models using the transient response of bedrock rivers to tectonic forcing in the Apennines, Italy

M Attal, PA Cowie, AC Whittaker… - Journal of …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
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

Topographic response to horizontal advection in normal fault‐bound mountain ranges

AM Hoskins, M Attal, SM Mudd… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Tectonic displacements consist of vertical uplift or subsidence, and horizontal advection. We
consider the effects of tectonic advection on mountain range topography, surface drainage …

Natural experiments in landscape evolution
