Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

Mountain building in the Andes, the longest continental mountain range on Earth, started in
the Late Cretaceous but was highly diachronous. Reconstructing the timing of surface uplift …

Uranium-lead geochronology in detrital zircons and provenance analyses in eight boreholes
and two surface stratigraphic sections in the northern Andes provide insight into the time of …

The interplay between continental motions during the assembly of Pangaea and late
Palaeozoic climate change, including severe glaciation and global aridification, remains …

Type and amount of sediment generation are intimately connected to tectonic and climatic
processes active at the earth's surface today as well as throughout the geologic past. Detrital …

Abstract The Yinggehai and Qiongdongnan basins in the northwestern South China Sea
preserve a large volume of Cenozoic sediments. However, their sources are still barely …

The temporal transition from backarc extension to retroarc shortening is a fundamental
process in the evolution of many Andean-type convergent margins. This switch in tectonic …

The origin and development of the major rivers in the eastern Tibetan Plateau have been a
special focus of research because of the close links recognized between river formation …

Dust storms are considered as one of the most important environmental challenges in the
West Asia region. In addition to the harmful impacts of dust storms on human health, they …

Abstract The Chinese Loess Plateau in north central China contains one of the most
valuable Cenozoic climate archives on land. Establishing the origin of this substantial …
