A review of observations and models of dynamic topography
The topography of Earth is primarily controlled by lateral differences in the density structure
of the crust and lithosphere. In addition to this isostatic topography, flow in the mantle …

[HTML][HTML] The many surface expressions of mantle dynamics
J Braun - Nature Geoscience, 2010 - nature.com
Plate tectonic theory suggests that present-day topography can be explained by the
repeated interactions between the tectonic plates moving along Earth's surface. However …

Estimating uplift rate histories from river profiles using African examples
GG Roberts, N White - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We describe and apply a method for estimating uplift rate histories from longitudinal river
profiles. Our strategy is divided into three parts. First, we develop a forward model, which …

Large Igneous Province thermogenic greenhouse gas flux could have initiated Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum climate change
Abstract Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are associated with the largest climate

Cenozoic dynamic topography of Madagascar
It has been proposed that Oligo‐Miocene regional uplift of Madagascar was generated and
is maintained by mantle dynamical processes. Expressions of regional uplift include flat …

From volcanic plains to glaciated peaks: Burial, uplift and exhumation history of southern East Greenland after opening of the NE Atlantic
Abstract In southern East Greenland (68–70° N), voluminous flood basalts erupted onto a
largely horizontal lava plain near sea level at the Paleocene–Eocene transition when sea …
