TL;DR: The role of erosion in the structural and petrological evolution of mountain belts has been examined at a variety of spatial and temporal scales, and it has been shown that erosion can mediate the development and distribution of both deformation and metamorphic facies, accommodate crustal convergence, and locally instigate high-grade metamorphism and melting as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The major element and isotope geochemistry of surface waters, bedrock, and river sands was investigated in the Raikhot watershed within the High Himalayan Crystalline Series (HHCS) in northern Pakistan.

TL;DR: The up to ∼4 km high southern Patagonian Andes form a pronounced topographic barrier to atmospheric circulation in the southern hemisphere westerlies, and cause one of the most drastic orographic rain shadows on earth as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the average relative molar abundance of major cations and Si in all stream waters was investigated by analyzing the elemental and Sr isotope geochemistry of stream waters, bedload sediment, and hydrothermal calcite veins.

TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of δ 18 O data from surface waters throughout the globe shows a linear relationship between net elevation change and Δ Δ 18 O (R 2 = 0.79), through the use of this relationship, the timing and magnitude of elevation change in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and the Sierra Nevada of California.
