Heavy mineral concentration in sediments depends primarily on the chemistry and tectono-
stratigraphic level of rocks eroded within continental-block, arc, or orogenic source terranes …

Recent measurements of surface vertical displacements of the European Alps show a
correlation between vertical velocities and topographic features, with widespread uplift at …

Since the recognition in the mid-19th century that glaciers had been considerably more
extensive than at present, the Quaternary (Pleistocene and Holocene series) has been …

Marked by a progressive increase in the amplitude of climate oscillations, an evolving
waveform, and a shift towards a quasi-100 ky frequency, the Early–Middle Pleistocene …

To date erosion scientists have failed to address—or have addressed inadequately—some
of the 'big questions' of our discipline. For example, where is erosion occurring? Why is it …

The Quaternary is synonymous with extensive glaciation of Earth's mid-and high-latitudes.
Although there were local precursors, significant glaciation began in the latest Eocene (ca …

Cycles of glaciation impose mechanical stresses on underlying bedrock as glaciers
advance, erode, and retreat. Fracture initiation and propagation constitute rock mass …

Abstract The Early-Middle Pleistocene transition (c. 1.2–0.5 Ma), sometimes known as the
'mid-Pleistocene revolution', represents a major episode in Earth history. Low-amplitude 41 …

PECUBE is a three-dimensional thermal–kinematic code capable of solving the heat
production–diffusion–advection equation under a temporally varying surface boundary …

By selecting a limited number of variables (westward vs. eastward subduction polarity;
oceanic vs. continental origin of downgoing and overriding plates), we identify eight end …
