Mountain building in the Andes, the longest continental mountain range on Earth, started in
the Late Cretaceous but was highly diachronous. Reconstructing the timing of surface uplift …

Growing pressure on sustainable water resource allocation in the context of global
development and rapid environmental change demands rigorous knowledge of how …

An accurate representation of the spatial distribution of stable hydrogen and oxygen
isotopes in modern precipitation is required for many hydrological, paleoclimate, and …

Proxy data reflecting the oxygen isotope composition of meteoric precipitation (δ18Oppt) are
widely used in reconstructions of continental paleoclimate and paleohydrology. However …

A compilation of 68 studies from throughout many of the world9s mountain belts reveals an
empirically consistent and linear relationship between change in elevation and change in …

The elevation of Earth's surface is among the most difficult environmental variables to
reconstruct from the geological record. Here we describe an approach to paleoaltimetry …

The quantitative estimation of paleoaltitude has become an increasing focus of Earth
scientists because surface elevation provides constraints on the geodynamic mechanisms …

Hydrogen isotope ratios (D/H) of lipid biomarkers extracted from aquatic sediments were
measured to determine whether they can be used as a proxy for D/H of environmental water …

The up to∼ 4 km high southern Patagonian Andes form a pronounced topographic barrier to
atmospheric circulation in the southern hemisphere westerlies, and cause one of the most …

Recent elevation reconstructions of the Andean Plateau suggest a rapid 2.5±1.0 km rise of
the central Andes between~ 10 and 6 Ma. This rapid rise has been attributed to a …
