Earth's climate affects nearly all aspects of landscape evolution, from the breakdown of rock to the delivery of sediment to the oceans. Yet quantifying climate's influence on landscapes …
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 …
We combine monazite petrochronology with thermal modeling to evaluate the relative roles of crustal melting, surface denudation, and tectonics in facilitating ultrafast exhumation of the …
With one of the largest watersheds in Europe draining complex geological terrains within the Alps, Bohemian Massif, Carpathians, Dinarides, and the Balkan Mountains, the Danube …
Abstract The Central Andes between 18° S and 36° S latitude strike north-south for 2000 km along the Chilean subduction margin, cross several climate zones from hyperarid to humid …
