These bedrock canyons exhibit a constriction-pool-widening (CPW) morphology that consists of a lateral constriction, a deeply scoured pool formed downstream of the constriction, and a channel widening at or near the pool exit. To explore how CPWs are formed in bedrock canyons, we hypothesize that the lateral constriction at the canyon entrance forces a CPW to form allogenically with subsequent CPWs propagating further downstream. Our hypothesis was tested experimentally in a flume channel with a forced lateral constriction at the canyon entrance. Our experiment shows that the forced constriction can cause a primary CPW to form allogenically because the backwater upstream of the forced constriction causes sediment deposition that creates an elevation drop, promoting flow and sediment to plunge toward the bed and carve a primary pool. Channel widening occurs at the primary pool exit because sediment deposit forms that deflects sediment into the banks, causing lateral erosion. Downstream of the primary widening, channel width declines and a new lateral constriction forms, which causes the formation of pools and widening downstream, resulting in downstream CPW propagation. In our experiment, the bedrock channel evolved until a persistent alluvial cover formed, reaching a steady state morphology without further vertical erosion until perturbed by higher discharge. Our experiment shows that discharge variation is necessary for a channel to evolve in the absence of uplift.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JF007808","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142443560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we utilized a high-speed system and particle trajectory tracking algorithm to reconstruct 857 collision events involving natural sand particles obtained from field samples and artificial glass microspheres interacting with a bed composed of analogous particles in a wind tunnel. During the experiments, the ratio of the wind shear velocity (<i>u</i><sub>*</sub>) to the impact threshold (<i>u</i><sub>*ti</sub>) consistently ranged between approximately 1.22 and 1.79. Our findings indicate that the impact angle remains independent of both impact velocity and particle size, maintaining an approximate value of 10.5 ± 6.5°. The evaluation of splash functions depends on the criterion used to define ejection, that is, the ratio of the centroid's height of the liftoff particles to their particle size (<i>H</i>/<i>d</i>). Additionally, at the same critical height (<i>H</i>/<i>d</i> = 1.5), our splash functions show differences of varying degrees from previous experiments and theoretical studies performed under no wind conditions.

These factors shape landscapes through time. River profiles can be inverted to estimate the rock uplift histories or lithology-specific erodibilities. However, river systems are dynamic and evolve in response to spatial and temporal internal dynamics, such as river capture events. Here, we present a modeling framework to infer denudation rates from the inversion of river profiles and thermo- and geochronology data. We achieve this by coupling a landscape evolution model and an efficient inverse modeling scheme to infer poorly resolved erosional and tectonic parameters. An application of the approach is presented for the Neckar catchment, southwest Germany, characterized by stark lateral variation in bedrock erodibility and rock uplift, and that have demonstrably undergone multiple river capture events. Different end-member scenarios are explored in the simulations. First, we test uniform and spatial variability in rock uplift rate and bedrock erodibility, and second, temporal variations in rock uplift rate and base level. Finally, we simulate river capture events by adding upstream sections (drainage area) at specific times and locations within the fluvial network. We find that spatial variation in rock uplift rate is necessary to reproduce the Neckar's river profile while honoring analytical observations. Simulations integrating river captures allow improved river profile predictions of specific tributaries of the Neckar catchment, leading to potentially more realistic erodibility and rock uplift history estimates. The time and location of the capture events determined from the modeling agree with previous estimations from geological evidence.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15887,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JF007636","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142429812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, there is a general paucity of field data on this spatial variability of the critical shear stress, largely due to the lack of a standardized measurement method. In an attempt to fill this gap, we propose a field-based workflow to estimate the frequency distribution of dimensionless critical shear stress (also named critical Shields number), which is based on the measurement of a series of variables related to the position, orientation and resistance to motion of individual clasts in a gravel-bed river, combined with a probabilistic approximation to drag and lift coefficients. Following this workflow, the patch-scale variability of particle incipient-motion conditions was determined in a gravel bar of the Upper Cinca River, Spain.

Microtidal barriers are also typically hydrodynamically isolated from one another, as weak tidal flows limit interactions between adjoining barriers. To better understand the controls on and scales of barrier segmentation in the relative absence of tides, here we develop a theoretical framework to estimate the alongshore length scales at which a barrier will either breach or heal following a disturbance in the barrier morphology. The non-dimensional framework compares the timescales of overwash (advective) and alongshore sediment transport (diffusive) processes along barrier island chains. We then apply this framework to modern barrier islands in the microtidal Gulf of Mexico using wave hindcast data and the lengths, widths, heights, and lagoon depths measured from remotely sensed geospatial data and topobathymetric data. We find that most of these barriers are currently longer than their critical length scale, often as a result of coastal restoration efforts.

Many shorelines are complex and indented, containing headlands, offshore islands and tombolos. Tombolos often form between islands and the mainland; however, the conditions for LST across tombolos are unclear. This question is important because tombolos are often reinforced with anthropogenic infrastructure, potentially causing sediment starvation of downdrift beaches. Along many shorelines, the return to a tombolo's natural condition has been proposed to promote sediment connectivity and counteract erosion. Nevertheless, the implications of such restorations remain uncertain. In this study, we employ the Delft3D wave-current model to investigate hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics across a tombolo, examining its role as a connector between adjacent beaches. Contrary to expectations, our simulations show only diminutive longshore currents from the updrift beach across the tombolo unless offshore wave heights exceed 8 m. Instead, predominant currents crossing the tombolo originate from offshore of the island, driven by storm-induced water level differences and circulation cells on both sides of the tombolo. The offshore island shelters the downdrift domain, resulting in higher wave energy and dissipation updrift of the tombolo. Further, increasing wave height or wave approach angle not only intensifies water level differences but also relocates circulation cells, enhancing total sediment transport from the updrift beach across the tombolo. However, in general, the deposition of sediment from the updrift side of the domain does not compensate for the sediment loss on the downdrift beach.
