Abstract

The scaling properties of the geometrical features of river courses and basin boundaries are investigated. These structures show anisotropic scaling which classify them as self-affine fractals. The self-affine characteristics of channels and boundaries have been found to be the same across the different river basins analyzed. Using a simulation model of river networks and basin landscapes, the relationship between the self-affine characteristics of channels and the three-dimensional structure and evolution of the landscape is shown.
