Erosion of orogenic mountain ranges exhumes deeply buried rocks and controls
weathering, climate, and sediment production and transport at a variety of scales. Erosion …

Simple physical arguments, analogue experiments and numerical experiments all suggest
that the internal dynamics of actively deforming collisional mountain ranges are influenced …

Edition Edward A. Keller Nicholas Pinter 'ЯШ _ Page 2 Contents 1 Preface xiii Introduction …

The functional relationship between erosion rate and topography is central to understanding
both controls on global sediment flux and the potential for feedback between tectonics …

A numerical model of the coupled processes of tectonic deformation and surface erosion in
convergent orogens is developed to investigate the nature of the interaction between these …

Apatite is a common U-and Th-bearing accessory mineral in igneous and metamorphic
rocks, and a minor but widespread detrital component in clastic sedimentary rocks. U–Pb …

High-pressure low-temperature (HP–LT) metamorphic rocks provide invaluable constraints
on the evolution of convergent zones. Based on a worldwide compilation of key information …

The dynamic system of tectonics and erosion contains important feedback mechanisms such
that orogenic systems tend toward a steady state. This concept is often invoked, but the …

In one form or another, geochronologists have been practicing thermochronology1, the use
of radioisotopic dating to constrain thermal histories of rocks and minerals, for over 40 years …

Deep-seated metamorphic rocks are commonly found in the interior of many divergent and
convergent orogens. Plate tectonics can account for high-pressure metamorphism by …
