Detrital heavy minerals have helped address geologically complex issues such as the
nature and origin of the early terrestrial crust, the growth and evolution of the continental …

Detrital geochronology employing the widely‐used zircon U‐Pb proxy is biased toward
igneous events and metamorphic anatexis; additionally, zircon is highly refractory and …

The northern deformation front of the European Alps, ie the northern limit of Alpine thrusting,
is characterized by structural variability along strike. It can be subdivided into four regions …

Abstract Reconstructing Oligocene–Miocene paleoelevation contributes to our
understanding of the evolutionary history of the European Alps and sheds light on …

In this study, we use provenance analysis to shed light on the Neogene evolution of river
drainage and sediment dispersal in eastern Asia as a consequence of the Himalayan …

Molasse foreland basin, and it explains why particular mechanisms and the collection of
related datasets have enjoyed more attention than others. It then ends with a call for a more …

Eocene to Miocene sedimentary strata of the Northern Alpine Molasse Basin in Switzerland
are well studied, yet they lack robust geochronologic and geochemical analysis of detrital …

The extent and distribution of glaciers on the Swiss Plateau during the Last Glacial
Maximum (LGM) can be determined from the geological record. However, similar …

Rivers transport sediment from source to sink, forming an essential part of sediment routing
systems. Sediment generation is often assumed to be focused on the upstream reaches of …

The conglomerates preserved in alluvial fans in the Swiss Molasse basin provide crucial
insights into the sedimentary dynamics of these routing systems. In particular, the …
