Landscape form and millennial erosion rates in the San Gabriel Mountains, CA

RA DiBiase, KX Whipple, AM Heimsath… - Earth and Planetary …, 2010 - Elsevier
It has been long hypothesized that topography, as well as climate and rock strength, exert
first order controls on erosion rates. Here we use detrital cosmogenic 10Be from 50 basins …

Low‐temperature thermochronometry along the Kunlun and Haiyuan Faults, NE Tibetan Plateau: Evidence for kinematic change during late‐stage orogenesis

AR Duvall, MK Clark, E Kirby, KA Farley… - …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Tibetan Plateau is a prime example of a collisional orogen with widespread
strike‐slip faults whose age and tectonic significance remain controversial. We present new …

Late Cenozoic evolution of the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau: Inferences from 40Ar/39Ar and (U‐Th)/He thermochronology

E Kirby, PW Reiners, MA Krol, KX Whipple… - …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
High topography in central Asia is perhaps the most fundamental expression of the

using the thermal structure derived from an extensive apatite fission-track study of an …

Applications of low-temperature thermochronometry to quantification of recent exhumation in mountain belts

JA Spotila - Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2005 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Exhumation is a primary phenomenon used to characterize geomorphic and tectonic
