Understanding the manner and degree to which topography in active mountain ranges
reflects deformation of the Earth's surface remains a first order goal of tectonic …

As the largest ecosystem of China, the desert ecosystem and the desertification-prone
region (DPR) occupies 44% of China's land area. The past, present, and the future of …

The uplift of orogenic plateaus has been assumed to be coincident with the fluvial incision of
the gorges that commonly cut plateau margins. The Mekong River, which drains the eastern …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Slip rates are heavily contested for many of the first-order strike–slip faults within the Indo–
Asian collision zone. Rates determined geodetically are generally lower than those reported …

Uplifted Neogene marine sediments and Quaternary fluvial terraces in the Mut Basin,
southern Turkey, reveal a detailed history of surface uplift along the southern margin of the …

In mountainous landscapes the role of periglacial processes in producing sediment is poorly
defined, despite evidence of abundant talus slopes. Ice growth in rock has long been …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

The deserts in north China are regarded as direct records of the process of inland Asian
aridification. Amongst these deserts, those proximal to the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are …

Rock uplift rates can be difficult to measure over 103–105 yr time scales. If, however, a
landscape approaches steady state, where hillslope erosion and rock uplift rates are steady …
