  abstract = {{T}he {S}utlej {R}iver catchment in the tectonically active western {H}imalayas has several geomorphic signatures of river piracy and drainage reorganization across the {U}pper {S}utlej-{Z}hada basin upstream. {T}he accelerated growth

of the {L}eo-{P}argil {H}orst across the {K}aurik {C}hango-fault ({KC}-fault) {Z}one and affected regional tectonics triggered enormous incisions, causing southward migration of the present {S}utlej {R}iver, which is highly infested by bedrock

landslides and debris flows and evolves as a very steep valley catchment. {I}n order to understand the changing regional landscape and identify the tectonic perturbation over the channels, we evaluate the slope-break

knickpoints in the {S}utlej {R}iver profile. {F}urthermore, we model the presence of an elevated low-relief relict landscape in the {U}pper {S}utlej-{Z}hada basin and the rapid incising lower {S}utlej valley catchment using the {C}elerity

model. {T}he observation suggests that major knickpoints at ~2000-3000 m elevation comprise the fluvial erosion process, while higher elevation knickpoints recommend the hillslope process. {I}n order to understand how fluvial

erosion and surface process imprints have changed the landscape over time, we spatially correlate terrestrial datasets, such as rates of denudation and exhumation ages, with topographic metrics and climate variables. {W}e

observe a strong correlation between the pattern of denudation rates and the conditioning factors that modulate the surface processes. {I}ncreased channel erosion, high stream power, topographic metrics, and the occurrence of

bedrock landslides over a regional structural disruption exhibit a positive spatial relationship, but their role in regional drainage capture, tectonic uplift, and the gradation process remains poorly understood.},
