# Citing GRLP

Please cite the sources that correspond to the features you use. The tiers below
follow the repository README.

## Always

When you use any version of GRLP, cite both:

- **Wickert, A. D. and Schildgen, T. F. (2019).** Long-profile evolution of
  transport-limited gravel-bed rivers. *Earth Surface Dynamics*, **7**, 17–43.
  [doi:10.5194/esurf-7-17-2019](https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-7-17-2019)
- **The specific software version you used**, as recorded in `CITATION.cff`
  (GitHub formats this automatically and exposes it in the web interface).

## Linearization and spectral response

If you use the linearized / near-analytical features (diffusivity, equilibration
time, gain and lag) or the plotting scripts in `examples/McNab_et_al_GRL/`, also
cite:

- **McNab, F., Schildgen, T. F., Turowski, J. M., and Wickert, A. D. (2023).**
  Diverse responses of alluvial rivers to periodic environmental change.
  *Geophysical Research Letters*, **50**, e2023GL103075.
  [doi:10.1029/2023GL103075](https://doi.org/10.1029/2023GL103075)

## Networks

If you use the river-network version of GRLP, also cite both:

- **Wickert, A. D., McNab, F., and Barefoot, E. (2026).** GRLP.
  [doi:10.5281/zenodo.3740658](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3740658)
- **McNab, F., Schildgen, T. F., Turowski, J. M., and Wickert, A. D. (2025).**
  Influence of network geometry on long-term morphodynamics of alluvial rivers.
  *Earth Surface Dynamics*, **13**, 1059–1092.
  [doi:10.5194/esurf-13-1059-2025](https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-13-1059-2025)
