Influence of climate change and uplift on Colorado Plateau paleotemperatures from carbonate clumped isotope thermometry
The elevation history of Earth's surface is key to understanding the geodynamic processes
responsible for the rise of plateaus. We investigate the timing of Colorado Plateau uplift by …
