Bedrock rivers and the geomorphology of active orogens

KX Whipple - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ 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 …

Mathematical modeling of whole landscape evolution

G Willgoose - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2005 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract The mathematical modeling of landform evolution consists of two components: the
processes represented (ie, considered dominant) in the model and the (typically computer) …

Dynamics of the stream‐power river incision model: Implications for height limits of mountain ranges, landscape response timescales, and research needs

KX Whipple, GE Tucker - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
The longitudinal profiles of bedrock channels are a major component of the relief structure of
mountainous drainage basins and therefore limit the elevation of peaks and ridges. Further …

A detachment‐limited model of drainage basin evolution

AD Howard - Water resources research, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
A drainage basin simulation model introduced here incorporates creep and threshold
slumping and both detachment‐and transport‐limited fluvial processes. Fluvial erosion of …

Implications of sediment‐flux‐dependent river incision models for landscape evolution

KX Whipple, GE Tucker - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Developing a quantitative understanding of the factors that control the rate of river incision
into bedrock is critical to studies of landscape evolution and the linkages between climate …

Distribution of active rock uplift along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau: Inferences from bedrock channel longitudinal profiles

E Kirby, KX Whipple, W Tang… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Current models of long‐term river incision into bedrock suggest that the local rate of
differential rock uplift should exert a primary control on the gradient of channel longitudinal …

Tectonic and lithologic controls on bedrock channel profiles and processes in coastal California

A Duvall, E Kirby, D Burbank - Journal of Geophysical …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Recent theoretical models suggest that topographic characteristics of bedrock channels are
products of interactions among tectonics, substrate resistance, and the climatically …

Geomorphic limits to climate-induced increases in topographic relief

KX Whipple, E Kirby, SH Brocklehurst - Nature, 1999 - nature.com
Recognition of the potential for strong dynamic coupling between atmospheric and tectonic
processes has sparked intense cross-disciplinary investigation and debate on the question …

Topographic outcomes predicted by stream erosion models: Sensitivity analysis and intermodel comparison

GE Tucker, KX Whipple - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Mechanistic theories of fluvial erosion are essential for quantifying large‐scale orogenic
denudation. We examine the topographic implications of two leading classes of river erosion …

Along-strike variations of morphotectonic features in the Western Foothills of Taiwan: tectonic implications based on stream-gradient and hypsometric analysis

YC Chen, Q Sung, KY Cheng - Geomorphology, 2003 - Elsevier
The Taiwan mountain belt provides a key example for analyzing the relation between
morphology and tectonics in an active compressional environment. There is a striking …
