Weathering, Dissolution, and Combined Hillslope Processes

Weathering, dissolution, and soil-production functions: linking the terms that together set rates of hillslope evolution.

Learning Goals

• Learn about dimensions and nonlinearities when assembling differential equations
• Understand how soil-production functions feed into models of hillslope evolution
• Include dissolution in a hillslope mass balance
• See how a full equation can be constructed by summing the multiple individual processes affecting a system

Video

This takes you through the remaining pieces of a full equation for hillslope diffusion and conservation of mass.
