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

• 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

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

• 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
