Mechanics and erosion of basement-cored uplift provinces
[1] Basement-cored uplift provinces are often characterized by high-angle reverse faulting along preexisting crustal heterogeneities, which may greatly affect the mechanics of deformation and the coupling between erosion and orogenic structure. Herein we construct a coupled deformation-erosion model to understand the mechanics and erosion of mountain belts in which the spatial distribution of d...
متن کاملUplift and erosion of genomic islands with standing genetic variation
Details of the processes that generate biological diversity have long been of interest to evolutionary biologists. A common theme in nature is diversification via divergent selection with gene flow. Empirical studies on this topic find variable genetic di↵erentiation throughout the genome, that genetic di↵erentiation is non-randomly distributed, and that loci of adaptive significance are often ...
متن کاملLarge Scale Terrain Generation from Tectonic Uplift and Fluvial Erosion
At large scale, landscapes result from the combination of two major processes: tectonics which generate the main relief through crust uplift, and weather which accounts for erosion. This paper presents the first method in computer graphics that combines uplift and hydraulic erosion to generate visually plausible terrains. Given a user-painted uplift map, we generate a stream graph over the enti...
متن کاملColorado Plateau uplift and erosion evaluated using GIS
Study of the interaction between uplift and erosion is a major theme of our science, but our understanding of their interplay is often limited by a lack of quantitative data. A classic example is the Colorado Plateau, for which the starting and ending points are well known: The region was at sea level in the Late Cretaceous, and now, the deeply eroded land surface is at ~2 km. The path of the l...
متن کاملTransient landscape evolution of basement-cored uplifts: Example of the Kyrgyz Range,
[1] The Kyrgyz Range, located on the northern margin of the western Tian Shan, illustrates long-term (10–10 year) transient landscape evolution in response to an active basement-cored rock uplift. Eastward propagation of range uplift has progressively exposed resistant bedrock capped by a tilted, (formerly) planar, pre-Cenozoic unconformity. We develop an approximate, stream power–based analyti...
