Abstract The Tethys Ocean was compartmentalized into the Mediterranean Sea and Indian
Ocean during the early Miocene, yet the exact nature and timing of this disconnection are …

The isotopes 129Xe, produced from the radioactive decay of extinct 129I, and 136Xe,
produced from extinct 244Pu and extant 238U, have provided important constraints on early …

Bedrock river incision drives the development of much of Earth's surface topography,,, and
thereby shapes the structure of mountain belts and modulates Earth's habitability through its …

How much of Earth's compositional variation dates to processes that occurred during planet
formation remains an unanswered question. High-precision tungsten isotopic data from …

Evidence for the capture of nebular gases by planetary interiors would place important
constraints on models of planet formation. These constraints include accretion timescales …

Changes to the tectonic boundary conditions governing erosional dynamics in upland
catchments have a significant effect on the nature and magnitude of sediment supply to …

This review article summarizes the state of the art of cosmogenic 3 He (3 He c), with a focus
on the most efficient methods and strategies for measuring this cosmogenic noble gas in the …

A major goal in Earth Science has been to understand how geochemical characteristics of
lavas at the Earth's surface relate to the location and formation history of specific regions in …

Cosmogenic nuclides in rock, soil, and sediment are routinely used to measure denudation
rates of catchments and hillslopes. Although it has been shown that these measurements …

Knowledge of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) response to past sea level and climate
forcing is necessary to predict its response to warmer temperatures in the future. The timing …
