Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

The elevation of the Andean Cordillera is a crucial boundary condition for both climatic and
tectonic studies. The Andes affect climate because they form the only barrier to atmospheric …

Asia has been a major testing ground for various competing models of continental
deformation due to its relatively well-understood plate boundary conditions in the Cenozoic …

Geochronological, structural, and sedimentological data provide the basis for a regional
synthesis of the evolution of the Cordilleran retroarc thrust belt and foreland basin system in …

The Cenozoic fill of the Gulf of Mexico basin contains a continuous record of sediment
supply from the North American continental interior for the past 65 million years. Regional …

The change in oxygen isotopic composition of precipitation is modeled using equilibrium
fractionation during Rayleigh distillation linked to the thermodynamics of atmospheric ascent …

The quantitative estimation of paleoaltitude has become an increasing focus of Earth
scientists because surface elevation provides constraints on the geodynamic mechanisms …

Abstract The Canyon Range, Pavant, Paxton, and Gunnison thrust systems in central Utah
form the Sevier fold-and-thrust belt in its type area. The Canyon Range thrust carries an∼ …

Herein we present oxygen isotope records from Cretaceous to Recent terrestrial sediments
in the western North American Cordillera. The purpose of this analysis is to use oxygen …

Empirical estimates of climate parameters such as mean annual temperature (MAT) are
essential to describe both ancient climate and to ground truth climate model simulations of …
