Understanding the manner and degree to which topography in active mountain ranges
reflects deformation of the Earth's surface remains a first order goal of tectonic …

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest‐resolution
digital elevation model of the Earth. The project was a joint endeavor of NASA, the National …

Bedrock river profiles are often interpreted with the aid of slope–area analysis, but noisy
topographic data make such interpretations challenging. We present an alternative …

The stream power incision model (SPIM) is a cornerstone of quantitative geomorphology. It
states that river incision rate is the product of drainage area and channel slope raised to the …

▪ Abstract Bedrock rivers set much of the relief structure of active orogens and dictate rates
and patterns of denudation. Quantitative understanding of the role of climate-driven …

A new regional compilation of the drainage history in southeastern Tibet suggests that the
modern rivers draining the plateau margin were once tributaries to a single, southward …

Quantitative analysis of digital topographic data is an increasingly important part of many
studies in the geosciences. Initially, performing these analyses was a niche endeavor …

Recent theoretical investigations suggest that the rate of river incision into bedrock depends
nonlinearly on sediment supply, challenging the common assumption that incision rate is …

Geomorphology is currently in a period of resurgence as we seek to explain the diversity,
origins and dynamics of terrain on the Earth and other planets in an era of increased …
