Abstract
In dry regions, escarpments are key landforms for exploring landform-rainfall interactions. Here we present a modeling approach for arid cliffs and sub-cliff slopes evolution incorporating rainfall forcing at the scale of individual rainstorms. We used numerical experiments to mechanistically test how arid cliffs and sub-cliff slopes evolve according to different geomorphic characteristics and variations in rainstorm properties.
