Tectonic-climatic coupling in extensional landscapes: Quantifying divide migration and erosion-sedimentation feedbacks through bilateral sandbox experiments
Puntos clave
Erosion and sedimentation feedbacks influence landscape evolution in extensional environments, providing new insights.
Quantitative results reveal that divide migration occurs significantly faster in actively eroding landscapes.
Bilateral sandbox experiments simulate tectonic-climatic coupling effects, demonstrating the dynamic relationship between tectonics and landscape changes.
Findings emphasize the interplay between erosion and sedimentation in shaping extensional landscapes, requiring further exploration.
