paleo_slope: Paleoslope relation

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

Description

paleo_slope estimates the slope of an ancient river. Originally developed in Trmapush et al. 2014. Implemented from Mahon et al. (2018)

Usage

paleo_slope(alpha0, alpha1, alpha2, D50, Hbf)

Arguments

alpha0	Empirical constant. Value and associated uncertainty from Table 1 in Mahon + McElroy 2018.
alpha1	Empirical constant. Value and associated uncertainty from Table 1 in Mahon + McElroy 2018.
alpha2	Empirical constant. Value and associated uncertainty from Table 1 in Mahon + McElroy 2018.
D50	The median bedload grain size. Determined from samples.
Hbf	The mean bankfull flow depth. Determined from preserved barforms.

Value

Returns a vector S, the dimensionless paleoslope of the ancient river.
