Orogenic Belts and Plateaus: Growth, Collapse, and Climate Interactions
Session ID#: 247150
Session Description:
Orogenic belts and plateaus are the most prominent features on Earth’s surface, shaped by the interaction between tectonic and surface processes across geologic time. Their growth and decay have induced both local and global (paleo)climate and biodiversity changes. Key questions remain regarding their long-term evolution, driving mechanisms, and climatic feedback. What are the relative roles of upper crustal-shortening and lower-crustal to mantle geodynamic processes in driving topographic growth? What processes contribute to plateau stability, collapse, and subsequent extension? How and to what extent do orogenic belts and plateaus influence paleoclimate changes? This session aims to bring together interdisciplinary research exploring the formation, evolution, and dynamics of orogenic belts and plateaus worldwide. We invite contributions that include but are not limited to sedimentology, structural geology, geochronology, thermochronology, petrology, paleoaltimetry, paleoclimatology, seismology, geodynamics, and numerical modeling. We seek to foster among participants the integration of field-based observations with analytical techniques and approaches.
