Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

Summary The tropical Andes of South America, the world's richest biodiversity hotspot, are
home to many rapid radiations. While geological, climatic, and ecological processes …

Global climate change varies greatly in different regions, so it is necessary to
comprehensively analyze climate change in different regions through different indicators …

Mountain building in the Andes, the longest continental mountain range on Earth, started in
the Late Cretaceous but was highly diachronous. Reconstructing the timing of surface uplift …

There remains substantial debate concerning the relative roles of tectonics and of global
climate in pacing the evolution of aridity in Central Asia over the Cenozoic. Tibetan Plateau …

The Amazon submarine fan is a large sediment apron situated offshore Pará (Brazil) and
represents the most distal extent of the Amazon River. The age of onset of this …

Long-term environmental stability has long been thought to lead to the accumulation of
species and, therefore, higher diversity 1. However, species richness and the time available …

Paleoaltimetry based on stable isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) of paleowater from the central and
northern Tibetan Plateau is challenged by the lack of a clear relationship between isotopic …

Current end-member models for the geodynamic evolution of orogenic plateaus predict (a)
slow and steady rise during crustal shortening and ablative subduction (ie, continuous …
