The competing controls of glaciers, precipitation, and vegetation on high-mountain fluvial sediment yields
Investigating erosion and river sediment yield in high-mountain areas is crucial for
understanding landscape and biogeochemical responses to environmental change. We …

Climatic control on seasonal variations in mountain glacier surface velocity
Accurate measurements of ice flow are essential to predict future changes in glaciers and
ice caps. Glacier displacement can in principle be measured on the large scale by cross …

A modern pulse of ultrafast exhumation and diachronous crustal melting in the Nanga Parbat Massif
We combine monazite petrochronology with thermal modeling to evaluate the relative roles
of crustal melting, surface denudation, and tectonics in facilitating ultrafast exhumation of the …
