Reconstructing the thermal history of minerals and fluids in continental environments is a
cornerstone of tectonics research. Paleotemperature constraints from carbonate clumped …

The paleoelevation history and geodynamic evolution of the Bangong suture zone in the
central Tibetan Plateau are hotly debated, with existing estimates showing contrasting …

Drought struck California during 7 of the 9 years from 2007 to 2015, reducing the state's
available water resources. Pum** of Central Valley groundwater has produced …

Herein we present oxygen isotope records from Cretaceous to Recent terrestrial sediments
in the western North American Cordillera. The purpose of this analysis is to use oxygen …

Within the ongoing controversy regarding the orogeny of the Tibetan Plateau region, two
directly conflicting endmember frameworks have emerged in which either:(1) a high central …

The western Nevada volcanic field is the western third of a belt of calderas through Nevada
and western Utah. Twenty-three calderas and their caldera-forming tuffs are reasonably well …

The elevation history of Earth's surface is key to understanding the geodynamic processes
responsible for the rise of plateaus. We investigate the timing of Colorado Plateau uplift by …

The timing and pattern of Tibetan Plateau rise provide a critical test of possible mechanisms
for the development and support of high topography, yet views range widely on the history of …

The distribution of Cenozoic ash-flow tuffs in the Great Basin and the Sierra Nevada of
eastern California (United States) demonstrates that the region, commonly referred to as the …

Records of past topography connect Earth's deep interior to the surface, reflecting the
distribution of heat and mass, past crustal structure, and plate interactions. Many tectonic …
