Identifying the State Dependence of Effective Material Properties in a Simplified Hydrologic Hillslope Model

Published in Water Resources Research, 2026

This paper investigated how effective material properties in a simplified hillslope model depend on system state. It connected simplified hydrologic modeling with subsurface process representation, helping explain when calibrated properties may change as wetness and flow conditions evolve.
