• Biomorphodynamics: Physical‐biological feedbacks that shape landscapes (2008, background): “[22] Tucker and Bras [1999] incorporated representations of vegetation growth, and the consequent decrease in sediment transport by surface runoff, into a landscape evolution model: the Channel Hillslope Integrated Landscape Development (CHILD) model [Tucker et al., 2001].”
• Modelling landscape evolution (2010, methodology): “The CASCADE and CHILD models use an irregular discretization in which nodes are connected by a Delaunay triangulation and the surface area of each node is represented by a Voronoi (or Thiessen) polygon (Braun and Sambridge, 1997; Tucker et al., 2001a,b) (Figures 4 and 5).”
