Recent measurements of surface vertical displacements of the European Alps show a
correlation between vertical velocities and topographic features, with widespread uplift at …

Glaciers and ice sheets erode mountains and produce vast quantities of sediments that are
delivered to rivers and oceans, impacting global sediment and biogeochemical balances …

Tectonic models for the Oligocene–Miocene development of the Himalaya mountain range
are largely focused on crustal-scale processes, and developed along orogen-perpendicular …

The question of lateral and/or vertical continuity of subducted slabs in active orogens is a hot
topic partly due to poorly resolved tomographic data. The complex slab structure beneath …

The idea that prominent geological phenomena observed in the crust and at the surface may
be caused by the detachment of subducting dense lithosphere has been anticipated by …

Abstract The European Alps are the site where classic geologic concepts such as nappe
theory, continental subduction and slab breakoff have been first proposed. However, the …

The potential link between erosion rates at the Earth's surface and changes in global climate
has intrigued geoscientists for decades, because such a coupling has implications for the …

The surface of the Earth is the ever-changing expression of the dynamic processes
occurring at depth and at or above its surface. However, our ability to “read” landscapes in …

Collisional mountain belts grow as a consequence of continental plate convergence and
eventually disappear under the combined effects of gravitational collapse and erosion …

After the onset of plate collision in the Alps, at 32–34 Ma, the deep structure of the orogen is
inferred to have changed dramatically: European plate break-offs in various places of the …
