Abstract
An important part of studying the mechanics of mountain building is to understand rates of rock uplift as a function of both space and time. Scientists have used the longitudinal profiles of rivers and how they respond to rock uplift and erosion to infer the tectonic history of the landscape and thus some of the uplift history of mountain ranges. However, there are other factors besides uplift that influence how the slope of a river changes, such as sudden tectonic activity or the type of rock over which the river flows.
