Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

HeFTy is a popular thermal history modelling program which is named after a brand of trash
bags as a reminder of the 'garbage in, garbage out'principle. QTQt is an alternative program …

The Cenozoic landscape evolution in southwestern North America is ascribed to crustal
isostasy, dynamic topography, or lithosphere tectonics, but their relative contributions remain …

Abstract Apatite (U–Th)/He and fission-track dates, as well as 4 He/3 He and fission-track
length data, provide rich thermal history information. However, numerous choices and …

The uplift and denudation of the Colorado Plateau is important in reconstructing the
geomorphic and tectonic evolution of western North America. A Late Cretaceous (64±2 Ma) …

Radiation damage exerts a fundamental control on He diffusion in zircon, which manifests
as correlations between (U‐Th)/He date and effective uranium concentration. These …

Bedrock strength is a key parameter that influences slope stability, landscape erosion, and
fluvial incision. Yet, it is often ignored or indirectly constrained in studies of landscape …

Widely used to study surface processes and the development of topography through
geologic time,(U–Th)/He thermochronometry in apatite depends on a quantitative …

Continental crust in average exhibits a similar composition in both major and trace elements
to andesites along active continental margins. For this reason, andesitic magmatism above …

Rivers can respond to local surface uplift or depositional blockage by incision of a narrow
channel, but the resulting gorges are often temporary features. Although fluvial downcutting …
