Erosion of orogenic mountain ranges exhumes deeply buried rocks and controls
weathering, climate, and sediment production and transport at a variety of scales. Erosion …

In one form or another, geochronologists have been practicing thermochronology1, the use
of radioisotopic dating to constrain thermal histories of rocks and minerals, for over 40 years …

Stepwise degassing diffusion experiments on 39 different apatite samples using radiogenic
4He and proton-induced 3He reveal a range in closure temperature (Tc) from∼ 50 to 115° …

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 …

Restraining-and releasing bends with similar morphology and structure have been
described by many previous studies of strike-slip faults in a variety of active and ancient …

Studies across a broad range of drainage basins have established a positive correlation
between mean slope gradient and denudation rates. It has been suggested, however, that …

The displacement histories of the San Jacinto and southernmost San Andreas fault zones
are constrained by offset data with ages in the range of 5 Ma to 5 ka. Apparent discrepancies …

Geologic relationships and patterns of crustal seismicity constrain the three‐dimensional
geometry of the active portions of San Andreas fault zone near San Gorgonio Pass, southern …

With an obliquity of∼ 30° relative to plate motion direction, the∼ 300‐km‐long Big Bend of
the San Andreas Fault is one of the world's largest restraining bends. The 5–6 Ma (∼ 160 …

Many bends or step-overs along strike–slip faults may evolve by propagation of the strike–
slip fault on one side of the structure and progressive shut-off of the strike–slip fault on the …
