Variation in bedrock erodibility along a river profile gives rise to differences in vertical incision rate and influences sediment characteristics such as clast lithology, coarse sediment generation ...

Geoscientists have struggled for decades to detect the influence of climate on the formation of rivers, but until now there had been no systematic evidence. Water flows downhill, so the path a river ...

Additionally, arid rivers tend to experience brief, intense rainstorms, which do not create flow over the entire river length. These links between climate, streamflow and long profile shape are ...
