Importance of a stochastic distribution of floods and erosion thresholds in the bedrock river incision problem by Snyder, Noah P., Whipple, Kelin X., Tucker, Gregory E., Merritts, Dorothy J.

“…Fluvial erosion of bedrock occurs during occasional flood events when boundary shear stress exceeds a critical threshold to initiate incision. Therefore…”
