Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

The thin-skin Sevier and thick-skin Laramide belts of the North American Cordillera provide
a long-term record of the interrelations between evolving styles of mountain building and …

Recent studies of the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau have called attention to two
emerging views of how the Tibetan Plateau has grown. First, deformation in northern Tibet …

Cenozoic convergence between the Indian and Asian plates produced the archetypical
continental collision zone comprising the Himalaya mountain belt and the Tibetan Plateau …

It is widely recognized that collisional mountain belt topography is generated by crustal
thickening and lowered by river bedrock erosion, linking climate and tectonics,,–. However …

Construction of the Andes has been governed largely by fluctuating contractional, neutral,
and extensional tectonic regimes during differing degrees of mechanical coupling along the …

Convective removal of lower lithosphere beneath the Tibetan Plateau can account for a
rapid increase in the mean elevation of the Tibetan Plateau of 1000 m or more in a few …

The longitudinal profiles of bedrock channels are a major component of the relief structure of
mountainous drainage basins and therefore limit the elevation of peaks and ridges. Further …

Lithospheric delamination is the foundering of dense lithosphere into less dense
asthenosphere. The causes for this density inversion are thermal, compositional, and due to …

We have made measurements of shear wave splitting in the phases SKS and SKKS at 21
broadband stations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa …
