lynds_one: Simple method to calculate paleoslope from preserved...

In ericbarefoot/paleohydror: A package for implementing published routines in paleohydrologic reconstruction.

Description

lynds_one calculates the slope of an ancient river, provided you know the flow depth, the grain size of the bed material, and make some assumptions about shear stress in the river. Implemented from Lynds et al. (2014)

Usage

lynds_one(D, H, tau_mode = "fixed", rhos = 2650, rhof = 1000)

Arguments

D	The median grain size of bedload sediments.
tau_mode	Denotes whether to use a fixed value for the shields number of the flow, or to use a logarithmically-spaced range going from one to ten.
rhos	The density of the sediment in kg/m^3
rhof	The density of the fluid in kg/m^3

Value

Returns a single dimensionless number giving the slope.
