Understanding the paradoxical presence of extensive low-relief surfaces perched above
deep valleys in SE Tibet is a long-standing challenge. Its origin, based on topographic …

River capture is a dramatic natural process of internal competition through which
mountainous landscapes evolve and respond to perturbations in tectonics and climate …

The eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau represents one of the morphologically most active
regions on Earth, where the interplay of recent crustal deformation and subsequent fluvial …

It has been proposed that most cirques are source‐area depressions of large, deep‐seated
rock‐slope failures. Yet the close relation between cirques and climate is convincing …

Forming the northern margin of the Cenozoic Himalayan–Tibetan orogen, the area
surrounding the Qaidam Basin is a key region to study the mechanisms that govern the long …

Hillslopes constitute the majority of a drainage basin space, and they, together with
channelized streams and mountain glaciations, form the most representative exogenic …

Abstract The Moroccan Massif Central, which is the largest massif of Paleozoic bedrock of
the Western Meseta, is located in the foreland of the Alpine Rif orogenic belt. The massif …

The location and magnitude of Himalayan tectonic activity has been debated for decades,
and several aspects remain unknown. For instance, the spatial distribution of crustal …

The long‐term evolution of orogenic drainage systems is closely related to the propagation
of tectonic structures, which gives rise to the topography and hence anisotropies for river …

Studies on relief and hypsometry in glaciated mountain ranges have recognized the
equilibrium line altitude of glaciers as a major control on mountain height. This has led to the …
