Tectonics from fluvial topography using formal linear inversion: Theory and applications to the Inyo Mountains, California

Tectonic activity generates topography, and the variability of tectonic forcing is responsible for topographic patterns and variability of relief in fluvial landscapes. Despite this basic relation, the inverse problem, by which features of the topography are used for inferring tectonic uplift rates,...
