Dynamics of the stream-power river incision model: Implications for height limits of mountain ranges, landscape response timescales, and research needs

The longitudinal profiles of bedrock channels are a major component of the relief structure of mountainous drainage basins and therefore limit the elevation of peaks and ridges. Further, bedrock channels communicate tectonic and climatic signals across the landscape, thus dictating, to first order,...
