Glaciers and ice sheets erode mountains and produce vast quantities of sediments that are
delivered to rivers and oceans, impacting global sediment and biogeochemical balances …

Glacial erosion and sediment production are of interest to diverse scientific communities
concerned with the interaction of climatic, tectonic and surface processes that influence the …

We present a comprehensive average velocity field for Alaska, based on repeated GPS
surveys covering the period 992–2007, and review the major results of previously published …

Erosion influences the dynamical evolution of mountains. However, evidence for the impact
of surface processes on tectonics mostly relies on the circumstantial coincidence of rugged …

The timing of initiation of flat-slab subduction beneath southern Alaska and the upper plate
record of this process are not well understood. We explore the record of flat-slab subduction …

The shear force along convergent plate boundary faults (megathrusts) determines the height
of mountain ranges that can be mechanically sustained,,–. However, whether the true height …

Active orogens are thought to behave as internally deforming critical-taper wedges that are
in rough long-term equilibrium with tectonic influx and erosional outflux. Spatial and …

To address Miocene–present episodic v. persistent exhumation, we utilize a simple
graphical procedure that vertically stacks spatially diverse K-feldspar 40Ar/39Ar multi …

The southern Patagonian Andes constitute the narrow, high-latitude end of the Andean
orogen belt in South America, where inherited basin paleogeography, subduction …

Abstract 40Ar/39Ar, apatite fission-track, and apatite (U-Th)/He thermochronological
techniques were used to determine the Neogene exhumation history of the topographically …
