The Rise and Fall of Laramide Topography and the Sediment Evacuation From Wyoming
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The modern topography within the Laramide region consists of high‐relief ranges and high‐elevation low‐relief (HELR) surfaces separated by intraforeland basins.

Structural Style and Kinematic History of the Colombian Eastern Cordillera
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Fold-and-thrust belts and their associated structures are among the most common geological features of convergent margins. They provide significant information about crustal shortening and mountain-building processes.

Enhanced Quaternary Exhumation in the Central Three Rivers Region, Southeastern Tibet
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 The roles of tectonics and climate in the global increased erosion rates during the Quaternary have been the subject of active debate. The Three Rivers Region, strongly influenced by continental convergence between India and Eurasia and change in Asian ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 Radiation damage exerts a fundamental control on He diffusion in zircon, which manifests as correlations between (U‐Th)/He date and effective uranium concentration. These correlations can be exploited with modeling to explore long‐term thermal histories.

Low-temperature thermochronology and thermokinematic modeling of deformation, exhumation, and development of topography in the central Southern Alps, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2009 Apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He and fission track ages were obtained from ridge transects across the central Southern Alps, New Zealand. Interpretation of local profiles is difficult because relationships between ages and topography or local faults are ...

A probabilistic approach to the seismic hazard in Kashmir basin, NW Himalaya
Geoscience Letters, 2019 Northwestern Himalaya is one of the most tectonically active domains of the Himalayan arc. The prevailing complex collisional tectonic setup is able to produce destructive earthquakes, most recent being the 8 October 2005 Kashmir earthquake (M7.6).
