Tectonic and climatic controls of alluvial-fan size and source-catchment relief
03/01/2007: 3,459 words, approx. 12 pages Abstract: The geometries of alluvial fans and their upland catchments subject to known rates of basin subsidence V and upland precipitation P, respectively, are compared with predictions from a quantitative analysis of an idealized landscape. We find that the dimensionless ratio V/P explains...
