Microcanonical ensembles of river nets

It is shown that a thermodynamic analogy can be set up for structurally cyclic as well as for noncyclic river nets that satisfy Horton's law of stream numbers. In the latter case, the microcanonical formalism of statistical thermodynamics has to be used.

Lithologic variations in slope development theory

This paper presents a comprehensive review and amplification of the writer's earlier slope development theory. In particular, the influence of lithology on evolving slope profiles is investigated and calculations are made for various conditions, such as presence of caprock, soft bottom, and hard and soft intermediate layers.
