“…At the catchment scale, channel knickpoint migration velocities in tectonically active environments can be related to uplift rate [ Niemann et al , ; Attal et al , ; Whittaker , ], such that knickpoint elevations should mimic a displacement profile consistent with the tip propagation model (Figure a [ Whittaker , ]). In the Pine Forest Range, where the thermochronometer data show that fault lengthening may have ceased by ~8 Ma, knickpoint height is rather uniform across the range [ Ellis et al , ]; this mimics, instead, a displacement profile more consistent with the constant fault‐length model (Figure c). In conclusion, observed spatial patterns of Pine Forest Range fluvial knickpoints also support the thermochronologic evidence that shows that fault development best aligns with the constant fault‐length model.…”
