Coverage of papers and fieldwork
Yosemite Valley incision
Our paper on the timing of incision of Yosemite Valley using High Precision Thermochronometry was covered here.
Antarctica Fieldwork
Berkeley and UCL provided nice reports on our recent fieldwork in Antarctica.Eos articles
Our Inyo Mountains paper was covered by Eos. In this paper, we used an analytical solution to the stream power model to infer rates of rock uplift for the Inyo Mountains. Rock uplift rates were estimated in 1D simulating block uplift and 2D as a function of the elastic response to normal faulting.
Our Taiwan article on using rivers to infer rock uplift rates was also highlighted by Eos. In this paper, we used the same analytical solution, but parameterized uplift rate more generally, enabling us to identify rock uplift rates as a function of space and time.
Also in 2014, our Bergell paper was highlighted by Eos. Here, we coupled a finite element code that solves the heat equation and predicts ages (Pecube, Braun et al., 2012) to a landscape evolution model. Therefore, we were able to infer rates of rock uplift from thermochronometric data, as opposed to exhumation rates.
