We describe and apply a method for estimating uplift rate his- tories from longitudinal river pro¯les. Our strategy is divided into three parts. First, we develop a forward model, which calculates river pro¯les from up- lift rate histories. Height variation along a river pro¯le is controlled by up- lift rate and moderated by the erosional process. We assume that the ero- sional process can be represented by a combination of advection and di®u- sion, which are parametrized using four erosional constants. Secondly, we have posed and solved the geologically more interesting inverse problem: which uplift rate history minimizes the mis¯t between calculated and observed river pro¯les? The inverse algorithm has been tested on synthetic ri...
