Late Cenozoic increase in accumulation rates of terrestrial sediment: How might climate change have affected erosion rates?

P Molnar - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Accumulation rates of terrestrial sediment have increased in the past few million

Compressional intracontinental orogens: Ancient and modern perspectives

T Raimondo, M Hand, WJ Collins - Earth-Science Reviews, 2014 - Elsevier
Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at

Late Oligocene–Early Miocene initiation of shortening in the Southwestern Chinese Tian Shan: implications for Neogene shortening rate variations

ER Sobel, J Chen, RV Heermance - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2006 - Elsevier
The Cenozoic Tian Shan is one of the preeminent examples of an intracontinental orogen.
However, there remains a significant controversy over when deformation related to the India …

Late Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the northwestern Tien Shan: New age estimates for the initiation of mountain building

Formation of internally drained contractional basins by aridity‐limited bedrock incision

ER Sobel, GE Hilley, MR Strecker - Journal of Geophysical …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
