Geodynamics of continental rift initiation and evolution
A continental rift is a nascent plate boundary where the lithosphere is thinned by tectonic
activity. Some continental rifts undergo extension to the point that they generate a new …

The stream power river incision model: Evidence, theory and beyond
D Lague - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Timescales of landscape response to divide migration and drainage capture: Implications for the role of divide mobility in landscape evolution
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 …

[HTML][HTML] How do landscapes record tectonics and climate?
AC Whittaker - Lithosphere, 2012 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The Earth's surface is shaped by tectonics and climate. This simple statement implies that
we should, in principle, be able to use the landscape as an archive of both tectonic rates and …

Neogene rejuvenation of central Appalachian topography: Evidence for differential rock uplift from stream profiles and erosion rates
The persistence of topography within ancient orogens remains one of the outstanding
questions in landscape evolution. In the eastern North American Appalachians, this question …

Preservation or piracy: Diagnosing low-relief, high-elevation surface formation mechanisms
Absent clear lithologic control, the presence of elevated, low-relief topography in upland
landscapes has traditionally been interpreted as a signature of relative surface uplift and …

River profile response to normal fault growth and linkage: An example from the Hellenic forearc of south-central Crete, Greece
SF Gallen, KW Wegmann - Earth Surface Dynamics, 2017 - esurf.copernicus.org
Topography is a reflection of the tectonic and geodynamic processes that act to uplift the
Earth's surface and the erosional processes that work to return it to base level. Numerous …
