hillslope_tau(U, K, L, beta, Sc = NULL, A = 0.4052847, B = 1.74)

Arguments

U

relative baselevel fall rate (m/a)

K

hillslope diffusion coefficient (m2/a)

L

hillslope length (m)

beta

rock-to-regolith density ratio (-)

Sc

critical hillslope gradient (m/m), optional if not specified the linear adjustement timescale is returned

A

constant from roering2001hillslope;textualgeomorphology, optional (default 0.405)
