Description :
Wheeler Ridge in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, California, is an anticlinal fold which has been progressively uplifted during the last 250 ka. This study first documents how drainage density has evolved through time on Wheeler Ridge. The relationship between drainage density and slope is subsequently investigated, and it is shown that the form of this relationship depends upon the process which dominates hillslope erosion.
