The role of precipitation on Bedrock Channel Incision in Kauai, HI
… bedrock channels is frequently modeled with the stream power law, which relates erosion rates to drainage area, slope, and an erosional efficiency coefficient k. The value of k, however, varies with many physical factors and most of these relationships are not well quantified. This study uses a …

Generation of Buried Transient Landscapes and Residual Depth Anomalies
… arranged within catchment areas. Applying the stream power law, longitudinal river profiles are inverted to calculate spatially and temporally varying uplift histories. These unique landscapes are attributed to laterally advecting pulses of hot material that travel away from the centre of the …

Effects of differential rainfall on the dynamics of landscape evolution
… analysis, we analyze the general behavior of the stream power law, and using a 2D numerical model, we conclude the following: (1) The most general landscape evolution model tends towards a static steady state, where elevations no longer change. (2) Landscape evolution models are very sensitive to …

Modelling surface evolution coupled with tectonics
… as approach for hillslope processes and the stream power law to reflect riverbed incision. The 1D SEC settles sediment that was produced by fluvial incision in the appropriate minimum, while the supply-limited 2D SEC DANSER uses a fast filling algorithm to model sedimantation. It is based on …

CENOZOIC EXTENSION OF THE LAKE TANGANYIKA RIFT, EAST AFRICA: STRUCTURES, TECTONOSTRATIGRAPHY AND PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION
… development of major drainages and linkages to upstream rift lakes. This study illustrates a shallow to deep progression of rift valley environments and then restriction of littoral habitats that might have influenced the evolution of its unique endemic organisms. Rift structures such as rift …
