Experimental channel response to tectonic uplift

Channel width response to differential uplift

[1] The role of channel width and slope adjustments to differential uplift in rivers within actively deforming terrains remains contentious. Here high-resolution topographic surveying of formerly antecedent outwash channels demonstrates marked changes in channel width as a primary response to differential uplift. For five Late Quaternary alluvial paleochannels crossing small folds along the act...

Effects of mountain formation and uplift on biological diversity

The formation and uplift of mountain ranges constitute major geological phenomena that can have long-lasting effects on the evolutionary diversification of living organisms. They provide opportunities for adaptive evolution through an increase of spatial heterogeneity of the landscape, including elevation, and the generation of a wide variety of ecologically diverse biotopes, and affect the mig...

Uplift, Shortening, and Steady State Topography in Active Mountain Belts

We present a tectonic, surface process model used to investigate the role of horizontal shortening in convergent orogens and the effects on steady-state topography. The tectonic model consists of a specified velocity field for the Earth’s surface and includes a constant uplift rate and a constant horizontal strain rate which varies to reflect the relative importance of frontal accretion and und...
