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 …

Tectonic processes associated with supercontinent cycles result in a variety of basin types,
and the isotopic dating of detrital minerals within sedimentary sequences assists …

ABSTRACT The Appalachians are a Paleozoic orogen that formed in a complete Wilson
cycle along the eastern Laurentian margin following the breakup of supercontinent Rodinia …

Granitic intrusions emplaced within Laurentia during the Grenville Orogeny (1.15–1.05 Ga)
are exceptionally Zr-rich, primarily a function of high modal zircon, relative to Paleozoic …

We present a statistical approach to data mining and quantitatively evaluating detrital age
spectra for sedimentary provenance analyses and palaeogeographic reconstructions …

The New York promontory serves as the divide between the northern and southern
segments of the Appalachian orogen. Antiquated subdivisions, distinct for each segment …

Accretionary orogens form along continental margins where oceanic lithosphere is
subducted. They are primary sites of juvenile continental crust production and have been …

Seven new detrital-zircon U-Pb age analyses along with a compilation of previously
published data from Mississippian–Permian sandstones in the Appalachian foreland (total …

We report the U-Pb age distribution of detrital zircons collected from central and southern
Appalachian foreland basin strata, which record changes of sediment provenance in …

Abstract The Ancestral Rocky Mountains system consists of a series of basement-cored
uplifts and associated sedimentary basins that formed in southwestern Laurentia during …
