Ancient fluvial valley systems are long recognized as important features in the stratigraphic
record, but emerged as a specific focus of attention with publication of first-generation …

The elevation of the Andean Cordillera is a crucial boundary condition for both climatic and
tectonic studies. The Andes affect climate because they form the only barrier to atmospheric …

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

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 …

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

The Cenozoic fill of the Gulf of Mexico basin contains a continuous record of sediment
supply from the North American continental interior for the past 65 million years. Regional …

Rock uplift and erosional denudation of orogenic belts have long been the most important
geologic processes that serve to shape continental surfaces, but the rate of geomorphic …

▪ Abstract Accumulation rates of terrestrial sediment have increased in the past few million
years both on and adjacent to continents, although not everywhere. Apparently, erosion has …

This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology,
geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …

Determining factors that modify Earth's topography is essential for understanding continental
mass and nutrient fluxes, and the evolution and diversity of species. Contrary to the …
