Supplemental data table for Isolating lithologic versus tectonic signals of river profiles to test orogenic models for the Eastern and Southeastern Carpathians

This dataset contains a table of Schmidt Hammer data points acquired during a field campaign in the Eastern Carpathians in 2018. It is a supplemental material to the manuscript Isolating "lithologic versus tectonic signals of river profiles to test orogenic models for the Eastern and Southeastern Carpathians" submitted to JGR-Earth Surface. Abstract of the paper: Fluvial morphology is affected by a wide range of forcing factors, which can be external, such as faulting and changes in climate, or internal, such as variations in rock hardness or degree of fracturing. It is a challenge to separate internal and external forcing factors when they are co-located or occur coevally. Failure to account for both factors leads to potential misinterpretations. For example, steepening of a channel network due to lithologic contrasts could be misinterpreted as a function of increased tectonic displacements. These misinterpretations are enhanced over large areas, where landscape properties needed to calculate channel steepness (\textit{e.g.} channel concavity) can vary significantly in space. In this study, we investigate relative channel steepness over the Eastern Carpathians, where it has been proposed that active rock uplift in the Southeastern Carpathians gives way N- and NW-wards to ca. 8 Myrs of post-orogenic quiescence. We develop a technique to quantify relative channel steepness based on a wide range of concavities, and show that the main signal shows an increase in channel steepness from east to west across the range. Rock hardness measurements and geological studies suggest this difference is driven by lithology. When we isolate channel steepness by lithology to test for ongoing rock uplift along the range, we find steeper channels in the south of the study area compared to the same units in the North. This supports interpretations from longer timescale geological data that active rock uplift is fastest in the southern Southeastern Carpathians.
