A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Abstract Climate models run under warmer‐than‐modern conditions indicate that hurricanes pass closer to the US East Coast and show that a higher proportion of tropical cyclones achieve “major hurricane” strength with winds >209 km/hr. Empirical observations indicate that the dominant southward longshore current direction off the US East Coast is ...

The construction of databases of detrital zircon is important for Earth science research. A total of 27,915 U–Pb ages and 4,968 Hf isotopic compositions of detrital zircons from the upper Paleozoic–Mesozoic strata of the North China Block were compiled ...

There were no large volumes of felsic continental crust in the early Earth [PDF]
New model growth curves for the continental crust based upon Hf-isotopes in zircon suggest that large volumes of felsic continental crust were present in the Hadean and early Archaean.

Abstract Accretionary complexes are key archives of subduction zone processes, preserving records of forearc growth, deformation, and tectonic reorganization. The Chugach–Kodiak accretionary complex of southern Alaska records Jurassic to Cretaceous underplating at shallow to intermediate subduction conditions. The McHugh Complex, an imbricated sequence

Detrital zircon typology and U/Pb geochronology for the Miocene Ladrilleros-Juanchaco sedimentary sequence, Equatorial Pacific (Colombia) : new constraints on provenance and paleogeography in northwestern South America [PDF]
Typology and internal texture analyses were performed on detrital zircons obtained from the Miocene sandstones of the Ladrilleros-Juanchaco sedimentary sequence (Colombia, Equatorial Pacific).

ABSTRACT Rutile provides a wealth of petrochronological information in metamorphic geology and due to its high stability during processes of the sedimentary cycle, rutile takes a special position in sedimentary provenance analysis. Besides being one of the classical minerals datable using the U–Pb system, rutile incorporates a broad range of trace ...
