Dear All,
We are very pleased to announce the next Landscapes Live online seminar by Clément Désormeaux (Aix-Marseille University) on Thursday, November 19th at 16:00 CET (Amsterdam/Berlin/Paris).
"Investigation of stochastic-threshold incision models across a climatic and morphological gradient "
Abstract: Long-term landscape evolution is controlled by tectonic and climatic forcing acting through surface processes. Rivers are the main drivers of continental denudation because they set the base level of most hillslopes. The mechanisms of fluvial incision are thus a key focus in geomorphological research and require accurate representation and models. River incision is often modeled with a stream power model (SPM) based on the along-stream evolution of drainage area and channel elevation gradient but can also incorporate more complex processes such as threshold effects and statistical discharge distributions, which are fundamental features of river dynamics. Despite their importance in quantitative geomorphology, such model formulations have been confronted with field data only in a limited number of cases. Here we investigate the behavior of stochastic- threshold incision models across the southeastern margin of the French Massif Central, which is characterized by significant relief and the regular occurrence of high-discharge events
The seminar will be live on Zoom and open to anyone interested (limit of 300 participants). Register in advance for this meeting: https://durhamuniversity.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcqd-yuqzwpGt3J4U0KLJks19yOUmufJqHc
