Catchment coevolution and the geomorphic origins of variable source area hydrology
David G Litwin, Gregory E. Tucker, Katherine R. Barnhart, Ciaran Harman
2024, Water Resources Research (60)
Features of landscape morphology—including slope, curvature, and drainage dissection—are important controls on runoff generation in upland landscapes. Over long timescales, runoff plays an essential role in shaping these same features through surface erosion. This feedback between erosion and runoff generation suggests that modeling long-term landscape evolution together...
