Chile is an elongated country, running in a north-south direction for more than 30° along a
subduction zone. Its climate is progressively wetter and colder from north to south. This …

For more than a century, geologists have sought to measure the distribution of erosion rates
on Earth's dynamic surface. Since the mid-1980s, measurements of in situ 10Be, a …

The tectonic and climatic boundary conditions of the broken foreland and the orogen interior
of the southern Central Andes of northwestern Argentina cause strong contrasts in elevation …

Subduction of the Nazca plate beneath South America has driven the growth of the Andes
Mountains. Subduction has routinely generated earthquakes larger than magnitude 8.0 …

The mechanisms by which climate and vegetation affect erosion rates over various time
scales lie at the heart of understanding landscape response to climate change. Plot-scale …

High relief and steep rainfall gradients make the eastern flank of the northern Bolivian Andes
an excellent location for deciphering the relative roles of tectonics and climate on erosion …

Sediment generation and transport through terrestrial catchments influence soil distribution,
geochemical cycling of particulate and dissolved loads, and the character of the stratigraphic …

Western Bhutan provides an ideal setting to understand the interplay between uplift, erosion,
and fluvial sediment transport in an active mountain environment. Using in situ-produced 10 …

Mountain landscapes have dynamic climates that, together with tectonic processes,
influence their topographic evolution. Spatial and temporal variations in rainfall are …

We integrate analysis of present-day topography with a synthesis of current knowledge of
the geology, deformation history, exhumation history, and the pattern of erosion rates to …
