Tectonic geomorphology at small catchment sizes – extensions of the stream-power approach and the <i>&chi;</i> method

Quantitative tectonic geomorphology hinges on the analysis of longitudinal river profiles. The model behind almost all approaches in this field originates from an empirical relationship between channel slope and catchment size, often substantiated in the form of the stream-power model for fluvial in...
