The shaping of erosional landscapes by internal dynamics
Erosional landscapes transport sediment downstream, host natural hazards and are
geologically active. While perturbations in external forcing, particularly climate and tectonics …

Location, location, location: The variable lifespan of the Laramide orogeny
The Laramide orogeny had a spatially variable lifespan, which we explain using a
geodynamic model that incorporates onset and demise of flat-slab subduction. Laramide …

Detrital zircon provenance of the Late Cretaceous–Eocene California forearc: Influence of Laramide low-angle subduction on sediment dispersal and paleogeography
Abstract Upper Cretaceous–Eocene forearc strata deposited along the California continental
margin record a complex history of plate convergence that shaped the tectonic development …

The impact of slab rollback on Earth's surface: Uplift and extension in the hinterland of the North American Cordillera
Slab rollback processes alter the intraplate force balance and buoyancy of the overriding
plate, driving surface uplift or extension. From ca. 55–24 Ma, Farallon slab rollback …

Profile of a paleo-orogen: High topography across the present-day Basin and Range from 40 to 23 Ma
Records of past topography connect Earth's deep interior to the surface, reflecting the
distribution of heat and mass, past crustal structure, and plate interactions. Many tectonic …
