Description :
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the controls on knickpoint location and migration along the canyon of Nahal Paran in southern Israel. Nahal Paran contains several active and buried knickpoints, as well as an inner channel hypothesized to have been created through headward knickpoint migration. The location of these features depends in part on lithologic variability and tectonic uplift as they influence channel morphology and gradient, which in turn influence hydraulics and sediment transport.
