Summary: This paper explains how the Salt River and Verde River watersheds integrated in an extensional tectonic setting to provide water supply to metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The study suggests that these rivers gradually integrated during the late Pliocene to form the modern drainage system supplying water to the city.

Summary: The study demonstrates the importance of morphometric analyses in defining tectonic geomorphology of slow-moving intrabasinal structures. The Galera Fault is characterized by left-lateral and minor vertical slip components, with landscape response to fault activity being influenced by slow slip rates and high erodibility of basin infill deposits. Vertical displacement effects are better preserved compared to strike-slip displacement effects on landscape features, showcasing the key role of this fault in Quaternary landscape evolution.

Summary: This study uses multi-source remote sensing data to investigate a mascon to the southeast of the lunar Copernicus crater, determining it to be a buried peak-ring basin. The research combines topography, gravity, geochronology, and mineralogy to reveal the formation and evolution history of the basin.

Summary: Spatial gradients in rock uplift control relief and slope distribution, which in turn impact channelization and fluvial incision. The study investigates the evolution of drainage basins and networks in response to changes in the spatial pattern of uplift, focusing on globally observed geometrical scaling relations. The results show that basin spacing ratio and Hack's parameters are mainly determined by basin growth and that basin scaling relations are largely preserved despite changes in uplift pattern.

Summary: The study of Eocene delta systems in the Dongpu Depocentre in the Bohai Bay Basin, China, reveals the predominance of axial sediment systems over transverse systems in the infill of an elongate, asymmetrical graben. The characteristics and distribution of different delta types are controlled by tectonic, lake-level, and climatic factors. Axial deltaic systems sourced from large catchments are more attractive reservoir targets compared to poorly sorted conglomerates of transverse fan deltas.

Summary: Morphological scaling relationships between source-to-sink segments have been explored in modern and deep-time systems, with drainage outlet spacing, cross-sectional area, and fan area all providing key constraints on source area dimensions and sediment dispersal dynamics. The integration of core, well-logs, and seismic data across the Dampier Sub-basin in Australia has enabled a comprehensive study of deep-time source-to-sink systems in a late syn-rift succession.

Summary: Fluvial channel belts on Mars are exposed in a unique way, with steep slopes, shallow benches, and truncated ridges. This exposure is caused by preferential erosion of floodplain strata by wind, which is steered by crater topography.

Summary: This paper integrates sedimentary, tectonic and volcanic geological processes and analyzes their impacts on volcanic systems and sedimentary systems. The study case of the eastern Canary Basin reveals evidence of volcanic and tectonic activities, challenging the previous belief of inactivity in the seamount province of Canary Islands.

Summary: This study reconstructed the tectonic-geomorphological evolution of the Middle Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous in the Junggar Basin and analyzed the responses of sequence stratigraphy, sediment provenance, and depositional systems. The results indicate that tectonic-geomorphological evolution and climate change jointly controlled the sediment sources and determined the depositional features in the basin.

Summary: By successfully inverting observed African river profiles, this study investigates the influence of tectonic forcing on fluvial landscapes. Utilizing closed-loop modeling, the research demonstrates the dominance of large-scale tectonic processes in landscape evolution. Additionally, calibrated inverse modeling proves to be a fruitful method for studying landscape evolution and testing source-to-sink models.

Summary: This study analyzed the tectonic geomorphic characteristics and calculated the Index of Relative Active Tectonics (IAT) of each sub-catchment in the Dabanghe River Basin. The results showed that the geomorphic parameters effectively reflected the tectonic geomorphic features of the basin. The tectonic activity was most active in the midstream and gradually weakened from west to east under the control of the Yadu-Ziyun Fault. Field geological surveys confirmed the consistency of the research results with the regional geological background and geomorphic characteristics. Therefore, the use of tectonic geomorphic parameters to classify active tectonics is an important method to evaluate the stability of the crust in the region and extends the application of geomorphic parameters in tectonics.

Summary: Topographic analysis, drainage network morphometry, river profile analysis, and spatial distribution of fluvio-lacustrine terraces have been used to reconstruct the drainage network evolution in the Mercure River basin. The morphotectonic evolution of the study area is mainly controlled by high-angle faults, which have led to the development of a complex landscape with relict landscapes and low-relief erosional surfaces. The creation of accommodation space for basin infill deposition was related to a tectonic phase of block-faulting along normal faults.

Summary: The study of the Ninglang Basin reveals that a south-flowing drainage system existed around 45 million years ago, indicating early surface uplift in the eastern Tibetan Plateau. The research supports that the high topography of eastern Tibet was established in the late Eocene.

Summary: Research on the Bengal Basin primarily focuses on its geologic evolution and anthropogenic effects, but there is limited research on the geomorphic response to tectonic activity. This study investigates the river response to ongoing tectonics in the Chittagong Tripura Fold Belt and Indo-Burman Range by analyzing channel geomorphic metrics and river profile forms. The results show that the major rivers and their tributaries are in a transient state related to the region's ongoing tectonics.
