| Notes | The organization of river basins varies over geologic time. Tectonic forces, uplift and erosion can cause a stream to be “captured” by a neighboring river basin. Stream captures are relatively common in the Oregon Coast Range. In this most interesting article, the authors describe a process of modeling stream networks at different geographic scales. “Integration of these ‘synthetic’ drainage networks into a margin-parallel river system, similar to the modern Willamette Valley, supports field observations of stream capture and river network reorganization. We propose that these methods are useful for predicting future drainage configurations and isolating the relevant tectonic processes responsible for changing river networks” (from the Abstract). This is an open-access article. |
