Formal analysis of ridge and channel patterns in maturely eroded terrain

Auteur :
WERNER, C.

Description :
This paper focuses on the formal description rather than the physical explanation of the ridge and channel patterns in maturely dissected terrain| the object of the description is the connectivity within and between these patterns rather than their geometry. The A. investigates the topological relations between ridge and channel networks, with particular emphasis on the interdependencies between ridge and channel links and paths, and the drainage areas delineated by them.
