Tectonics from topography: Procedures, promise, and pitfalls
Cameron Wobus,Kelin X. Whipple,Eric Kirby,Noah P. Snyder,Joel P. L. Johnson,Katerina Spyropolou,Benjamin T. Crosby,Daniel Sheehan +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for extracting topographic indices of longitudinal profi le shape and character from digital topographic data is described, which can then be used to delineate breaks in scaling that may be associated with tectonic boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landscape response to tectonic forcing: Digital elevation model analysis of stream profiles in the Mendocino triple junction region, northern California
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate and calibrate the shear stress (or similar unit stream-power) bedrock-incision model by studying stream profiles in a tectonically active mountain range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of a stochastic distribution of floods and erosion thresholds in the bedrock river incision problem
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the presence of an erosion threshold, when combined with a well-constrained, probabilistic model of storm and flood occurrence, has first-order implications for the dynamics of river incision in tectonically active areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Channel response to tectonic forcing: field analysis of stream morphology and hydrology in the Mendocino triple junction region, northern California
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical calibration of the shear stress model for bedrock incision is presented, using field and hydrologic data from a series of small, coastal drainage basins near the Mendocino triple junction in northern California.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates and processes of bedrock incision by the Upper Ukak River since the 1912 Novarupta ash flow in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska
TL;DR: In this article, the authors exploit the diversion of the upper Ukak River by an ash flow in 1912 to measure rates of incision along a newly formed bedrock channel, and propose a streampower-type incision model.
