However, views diverge about how to best assess divide mobility. Here, we apply a new approach of automatically extracting and ordering drainage divide networks from digital elevation models to results from landscape evolution model experiments. We compared landscapes perturbed by strike-slip faulting and spatiotemporal variations in erodibility to a reference model to assess which topographic metrics (hillslope relief, flow distance, and chi) are diagnostic of divide mobility. Results show that divide segments that are a minimum distance of similar to 5 km from river confluences strive to attain constant values of hillslope relief and flow distance to the nearest stream. Disruptions of such patterns can be related to mobile divides that are lower than stable divides, closer to streams, and often asymmetric in shape. In general, we observe that drainage divides high up in the network, i.e., at great distances from river confluences, are more susceptible to disruptions than divides closer to these confluences and are thus more likely to record disturbance for a longer time period. We found that across-divide differences in hillslope relief proved more useful for assessing divide migration than other tested metrics. However, even stable drainage divide networks exhibit across-divide differences in any of the studied topographic metrics. Finally, we propose a new metric to quantify the connectivity of divide junctions.}, language = {en} } @misc{MorishitaLazeckyWrightetal.2020, author = {Morishita, Yu and Lazecky, Milan and Wright, Tim J. and Weiss, Jonathan R. and Elliott, John R. and Hooper, Andy}, title = {LiCSBAS}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {1078}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-47243}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-472431}, pages = {31}, year = {2020}, abstract = {For the past five years, the 2-satellite Sentinel-1 constellation has provided abundant and useful Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, which have the potential to reveal global ground surface deformation at high spatial and temporal resolutions.

Using case studies in southern Tohoku and the Echigo Plain, Japan, we demonstrate that LiCSBAS applied to LiCSAR products can detect both large-scale (>100 km) and localized (~km) relative displacements with an accuracy of <1 cm/epoch and ~2 mm/yr. We detect displacements with different temporal characteristics, including linear, periodic, and episodic, in Niigata, Ojiya, and Sanjo City, respectively.

Se desarroll{\´o} un modelo estructural que eval{\´u}a el estado de esfuerzos desde el Mioceno hasta la actualidad, el rol de estructuras previas y su influencia en la migraci{\´o}n de fluidos. Con estos datos y publicaciones previas de la zona norte del {\´a}rea de estudio (33°-34ºS), se realiz{\´o} un modelado num{\´e}rico geodin{\´a}mico para probar la hip{\´o}tesis del papel de las heterogeneidades de la placa superior en la evoluci{\´o}n andina.
