TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulator for modeling profiles of in situ terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides (TCNs) is presented, which permits the incorporation of site-specific geologic knowledge to calculate most probable values for exposure age, erosion rate, and inherited nuclide concentration while providing a rigorous treatment of their uncertainties.

TL;DR: It is suggested that warming of heterogeneous lithosphere is a powerful mechanism for driving epeirogenic rock uplift of the Colorado Plateau and may be of general importance in plate-interior settings.

TL;DR: The authors used a geographic information system to map, interpolate, and calculate the Cenozoic rock uplift and erosional exhumation of the Colorado Plateau and gain insight into its landscape development through time.

TL;DR: The authors assesses the state-of-the-art tools and data that are being used or could be used to forecast changes in the state of Earth's surface as a result of likely future C&LUC.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace the evolution of the Colorado River in the eastern Grand Canyon through middle to late Quaternary time using well-exposed fill terraces dated by a combination of optically stimulated luminescence, uranium series, and cosmogenic nuclide dating.
