This dissertation describes three studies that use numerical models and quantitative analyses to understand the roles of tectonics and surface processes on the evolution of topography in extensional settings. The first chapter explores mechanisms of gravitationally-driven collapse of orogenic plateaus using a finite element geodynamical code. We find that without lower-crustal channel flow pathways in adjacent lithosphere, syn-orogenic gravitational collapse of plateau lithosphere is difficult. Post-orogenic collapse in an extensional stress field is fast, and results in the development of rift basins on the collapsing plateau. The next chapter describes how tectonics, surface processes, and climate affect drainage basin development and the transition from open- to closed drainages in narrow continental rift basins. Our models predict that slow rift opening rates, wet cli- mates, and tectonic uplift can trigger closed-to-open drainage transitions. The last chapter of this dissertation illustrates how tens of thousands of synthetic landscapes, generated with a landscape evolution model, can be evaluated using machine learning and landscape metrics to understand landscape memory. We show that landscapes retain structural information from their past over millions of years of erosion.
