Multiple knickpoints in an alluvial river generated by a single instantaneous drop in base level: experimental investigation
Knickpoints often form in bedrock rivers in response to base-level lowering. These knickpoints can migrate upstream without dissipating. In the case of alluvial rivers, an impulsive lowering of base level due to, for example, a fault associated with an earthquake or dam removal commonly produces smo...
