Tectonic and climatic controls on the evolution of mountain belts

Session ID#: 158759

Session Description:
Tectonics and climate jointly control the topography and evolution process of mountain belts. How to quantitatively reconstruct their respective roles in the evolution of mountain belts remains a challenging scientific problem due to the complex interactions and feedbacks among various processes. The changes in tectonic and climatic controls over geologic time add another dimension of difficulty of untangling their respective roles. To extract the effects of each control, one needs to combine many different pieces of evidence such as geochronology, topographic data, flux and provenance of sediment eroded from mountain belts, and sequence stratigraphy in neighboring terrestrial basins or more distant ocean basins. We seek to bring together recent results on reconstructing the tectonics and climate of mountain belts. We welcome work on a wide range of spatial and temporal scales using any combination of methods/data (geomorphic and/or sedimentary record, low-temperature thermochronology, cosmogenic nuclides, paleoaltimetry, provenance analysis, and numerical/analogue modeling).
