▪ Abstract The mathematical modeling of landform evolution consists of two components: the processes represented (ie, considered dominant) in the model and the (typically computer) …

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 drainage basin simulation model introduced here incorporates creep and threshold slumping and both detachment‐and transport‐limited fluvial processes. Fluvial erosion of …

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 …

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 …
Recent theoretical models suggest that topographic characteristics of bedrock channels are products of interactions among tectonics, substrate resistance, and the climatically …
Recognition of the potential for strong dynamic coupling between atmospheric and tectonic processes has sparked intense cross-disciplinary investigation and debate on the question …

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 …
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 …
