Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

Abstract The Mississippi River fluvial–marine sediment-dispersal system (MRS) has become
the focus of renewed research during the past decade, driven by the recognition that the …

Mantle seismic structure beneath the United States spanning from the active western plate
margin to the passive eastern margin was imaged with teleseismic P and S wave traveltime …

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 …

The persistence of topography within ancient orogens remains one of the outstanding
questions in landscape evolution. In the eastern North American Appalachians, this question …

Topography is a reflection of the tectonic and geodynamic processes that act to uplift the
Earth's surface and the erosional processes that work to return it to base level. Numerous …

Land use impacts are commonly quantified and compared using 2D maps, limiting the scale
of their reported impacts to surface area estimates. Yet, nearly all land use involves …

The mineral ore potential of many mountainous regions of the world, like the Kurdistan
region of Iraq, remains unexplored. For logistical and sometimes political reasons, these …

Tectonics modify the base-level of rivers and result in the progressive erosion of landscapes.
We propose here a new method to classify landscapes according to their erosional stages …

ABSTRACT At 8: 07 am EDT on 9 Aug. 2020 a Mw 5.1 earthquake located~ 3 km south of
