The purpose of this paper is to discuss and illustrate, by means of a few examples, how classical equilibrium concepts in geomorphology relate to the analysis of systems and to point out the limits these classical equilibrium concepts impose on our
This paper evaluates the saltation-induced, near-surface convergence of velocity profiles as a function of changes in apparent surface roughness, and demonstrates that the focal point effect is an artifact resulting from the coincident increase
The AA. examine a simple model of hillslope processes under a variety of conditions in light of chaos theory. They show the limiting cases in which chaos would not be expected, and point out the similarity between reasonable nonlinear models
from two sites show convergence towards a minimum specific energy with time. Time-dependent reductions in specific energy at a point act in concert with minimization of the rate of energy dissipation over a reach during channel evolution as the fluvial
