Investigating rates and mechanisms of lateral erosion in a small bedrock river using erosion pins, structure-from-motion photogrammetry, and optically stimulated luminescence dating: Konza Prairie, northeast Kansas
Bedrock rivers play a critical role in landscape evolution by leaving signatures of past climate shifts, base level changes, and tectonic uplift in the landscape. While much is known about the mechanics of vertical bedrock incision, the fluvial processes driving lateral bedrock erosion and the …

The relationship between active faulting and fluvial geomorphology: a case study in the Gediz Graben, Turkey.
… of the factors that influence the behaviour of bedrock rivers undergoing perturbation due to tectonics. Factors such as drainage area, tectonic throw rates and lithology have been investigated and the complicated interactions of these variables with the fluvial system have been quantified. This …

Equilibrium and transient morphologies of river networks : discriminating among fluvial erosion
… and transient morphology of alluvial and bedrock river networks. We apply analytical methods and an iterative model to solve for equilibrium slope-area and texture- area (in alluvial networks) relationships under different tectonic and climatic forcings. Transient morphology resulting from …

Fluvial bedrock abrasion by bedload : process and form
Bedrock channels are a key component of the landscape. Pluvial bedrock incision sets the local base level, the boundary condition for hill slope processes, transmits tectonic and climatic signals throughout the landscape and transports sediments to sedimentary basins. Bedrock river networks are …
