Topographic Diffusion

Topographic Diffusion is a geomorphic process model that describes the gradual smoothing of landform surfaces over time through the statistical redistribution of soil and regolith, wherein elevation changes are governed by a diffusion-like equation relating sediment flux to surface gradient.
