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 …

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 …

The ongoing debate about the nature of coupling between climate and tectonics in mountain
ranges derives, in part, from an imperfect understanding of how topography, climate …

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 …

It has been long hypothesized that topography, as well as climate and rock strength, exert
first order controls on erosion rates. Here we use detrital cosmogenic 10Be from 50 basins …

With a balance of theory and practical applications, Tectonic Geomorphology of Mountains
is essential reading for research geologists and upper-level undergraduate and graduate …

Projected sea-level rise will raise coastal water tables, resulting in groundwater hazards that
threaten shallow infrastructure and coastal ecosystem resilience. Here we model a range of …

Efforts to extract information about climate and tectonics from topography commonly assume
that river networks are static. Drainage divides can migrate through time, however, and …

Bedrock river incision occurs only during floods large enough to mobilize sediment and
overcome substrate detachment thresholds. New data relating channel steepness and …

Erosion by bedrock river channels is commonly modeled with the stream power equation.
We present a two‐part approach to solving this nonlinear equation analytically and explore …
