Mutual adjustments between process and form in a desert mountain fluvial system

Description :
This study demonstrates the utility of simultaneous-equation models for explicitly analyzing mutual adjustment mechanisms within geomorphic systems. These models also promise insight into theories concerning system structures and dynamics. In general results confirm the expected interactions among variables (discharge, size of bed material) and suggest that the system is metastable.
