Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Abstract West and East Ganderia in the northern Appalachians and Caledonides,
respectively, represent a Gondwanan superterrane situated along the Tornquist margin of …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean was the first ancient ocean to be identified following the
development of plate tectonics; its history has been fundamental in relating orogenesis and …

The Earth's climate cooled through the Ordovician Period leading up to the Hirnantian
glaciation. Increased weatherability of silicate rocks associated with topography generated …

The flooding record of North America has been used to infer patterns of global erosion and
sea level in deep time. Here, we utilize the geospatial dimension of the stratigraphic record …

The deformed margin of the Laurentian craton, preserved within the Appalachian-
Caledonide Orogen, is one of Earth's best studied ancient continental margins. Within the …

Neoproterozoic to Cambrian isolation of Laurentia during the breakup of Rodinia was
associated with multiple large igneous provinces, protracted multiphase rifting, and variable …

The Zavkhan terrane is a Proterozoic cratonic fragment in southwestern Mongolia that forms
the core of the Central Asian orogenic belt. We provide new geologic and U-Pb zircon …

U-Pb dates on magmatic and detrital zircon from samples in the hinterland of the Taconic
orogen place new constraints on the timing and plate tectonic geometry of terrane accretion …

Ordovician strata of the Mohawk Valley and Taconic allochthon of New York and the
Humber margin of Newfoundland record multiple magmatic and basin-forming episodes …
