Paleo-lakes in the western United States provide geomorphic and hydrologic records of
climate and drainage-basin change at multiple time scales extending back to the Miocene …

Abstract The lower Pliocene Bouse Formation in the lower Colorado River Valley
(southwestern USA) consists of basal marl and dense tufa overlain by siltstone and fine …

The correspondence between seismic velocity anomalies in the crust and mantle and the
differential incision of the continental-scale Colorado River system suggests that significant …

The elevation history of Earth's surface is key to understanding the geodynamic processes
responsible for the rise of plateaus. We investigate the timing of Colorado Plateau uplift by …

Aim To examine the role of geological history, connectivity and distance in shaping the
biogeographical structure of North American desert clades that are restricted to habitat …

For almost a century the Baja California peninsula (Pen of California (Gulf), and broader
Sonoran Desert region (fig drawn geologists and biologists alike to study its unique …

Allow yourself to be taken back into deep geologic time when strange creatures roamed the
Earth and Western North America looked completely unlike the modern landscape. Volcanic …

Recently published thermochronological and paleoelevation studies in the Grand Canyon
region, combined with sedimentary provenance data in both the coastal and interior portions …

In western Iberia, mechanisms that can explain the transition from endorheic to exorheic
continental-scale drainage reorganization are foreland basin overspill, headwards erosion …

It is widely accepted that tectonics generally enhances river incision. However, why rivers
have not incised further into orogenic plateaus to destroy terrains over long-time scales …
