Equilibrium Form of Horizontally Retreating, Soil-Mantled Hillslopes: Model Development and Application to a Groundwater Sapping Landscape

We present analytical solutions for the steady state topographic profile of a soil-mantled hillslope retreating into a level plain in response to a horizontally migrating base level. This model applies to several scenarios that commonly arise in landscapes, including widening valleys, eroding channe...
