Reconstruction of Rock Uplift in South‐Central Germany Since Late Mesozoic Times

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.

However, estimating rock uplift rates remains challenging due to the temporal averaging of rates calculated from individual thermo‐ or geochronologic systems.
