A Multi‐Phase Mass Flow Model

Shiva P. Pudasaini, Martin Mergili · 15 Oct 2019

Geomorphic mass flows are often complex in terms of material composition and its evolution in space and time. The simulation of those hazardous phenomena would strongly benefit from a multi‐phase model, considering the motion and—importantly—interaction of phases characterized by different physical aspects including densities, frictions, viscosities, fractions, and their mechanical responses. However, such a genuine…

Modeling channelized and distributed subglacial drainage in two dimensions

Mauro Werder, Ian Hewitt, Christian Schoof et al. · 3 Oct 2013

[1] We present a two-dimensional Glacier Drainage System model (GlaDS) that couples distributed and channelized subglacial water flow. Distributed flow occurs through linked cavities that are represented as a continuous water sheet of variable thickness. Channelized flow occurs through Röthlisberger channels that can form on any of the edges of a prescribed, unstructured network of…

A model integrating longshore and cross‐shore processes for predicting long‐term shoreline response to climate change

Sean Vitousek, Patrick L. Barnard, Patrick W. Limber et al. · 16 Mar 2017

Abstract We present a shoreline change model for coastal hazard assessment and management planning. The model, CoSMoS‐COAST (Coastal One‐line Assimilated Simulation Tool), is a transect‐based, one‐line model that predicts short‐term and long‐term shoreline response to climate change in the 21st century. The proposed model represents a novel, modular synthesis of process‐based models of coastline evolution…

Global response of glacier runoff to twenty‐first century climate change

Andrew Bliss, Regine Hock, Valentina Radić · 12 Feb 2014

Abstract The hydrology of many important river systems in the world is influenced by the presence of glaciers in their upper reaches. We assess the global‐scale response of glacier runoff to climate change, where glacier runoff is defined as all melt and rain water that runs off the glacierized area without refreezing. With an elevation‐dependent…

Solutions of the stream power equation and application to the evolution of river longitudinal profiles

L. H. Royden, J. Taylor Perron · 20 Feb 2013

Abstract Erosion by bedrock river channels is commonly modeled with the stream power equation. We present a two‐part approach to solving this nonlinear equation analytically and explore the implications for evolving river profiles. First, a method for non‐dimensionalizing the stream power equation transforms river profiles in steady state with respect to uniform uplift into a…

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface format?
