dc.description.abstract
Along the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, the onset of rapid fluvial incision during the Miocene is commonly attributed to growth of high topography. Recent recognition of lacustrine strata preserved atop interfluves, however, suggest that headward expansion of river networks drove migration of the topographic divide. Here, we explore the impact of this process on fluvial incision along the Yangtze River. Landscape evolution simulations demonstrate that expansion of the Yangtze watershed since the Late Miocene could be responsible for 1 to 2 kilometers of fluvial incision. The distribution of modern knickpoints and river profiles is consistent with this hypothesis. We suggest that increased erosive power associated with capture and basin integration drove accelerated incision during the Late Miocene. Our results imply that eastern Tibet was elevated before middle Cenozoic time and that the tempo of fluvial incision may be out of phase with uplift of plateau topography.
