TLDR
In this paper, the authors presented 31 new apatite fission-track (AFT) ages for the island of Taiwan that, when combined with existing AFT and zircon fission track (ZFT) data, provide regional spatial coverage of the island with respect to low-temperature thermochronometry.About:

The influence of climate on the tectonic evolution of mountain belts.
TL;DR: The most convincing field evidence for such a coordinated response of a mountain range to climate change comes from the European Alps and the St Elias range of Alaska as mentioned in this paper, where a climate-driven increase in erosion rate is expected to show a number of simultaneous responses: a decrease in the width of the range, a temporary increase in sediment yield, a persistent increase in the rate of rock uplift and a reduction in the subsidence rate of surrounding basins.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the origin of orogens
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple conceptual temperature-magnitude (T-M) framework for orogenesis in terms of the progression from small-cold to large-hot orogens is presented, and forward numerical models to test hypotheses corresponding to specific stages along the T-M spectrum.

Provenance control on chemical indices of weathering (Taiwan river sands)
TL;DR: In this article, the concentration of chemical elements in terrigenous sediments is constrained by the original mineralogy of source rocks, and is thus provenance-dependent, and the mineralogy and geochemistry of sediments may undergo substantial modifications by diverse physical processes during transport and deposition, including recycling and hydraulic sorting by size, density or shape, and/or by chemical dissolution and precipitation during diagenesis.

Late Cenozoic metamorphic evolution and exhumation of Taiwan
Olivier Beyssac,Olivier Beyssac,Martine Simoes,Martine Simoes,Martine Simoes,Jean Philippe Avouac,Kenneth A. Farley,Yue-Gau Chen,Yu-Chang Chan,Bruno Goffé +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply this technique in addition to (U-Th)/He thermochronology on detrital zircons to assess peak metamorphic temperatures (T) and the late exhumational history respectively, along different transects in central and southern Taiwan.

Crustal-scale seismic profiles across the Manila subduction zone: The transition from intraoceanic subduction to incipient collision
D. H. Eakin,Kirk D McIntosh,H. J. Van Avendonk,Luc L. Lavier,Ryan Lester,Char-Shine Liu,Chao Shing Lee +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multichannel seismic reflection and wide-angle seismic data sets to model the velocity structure of the incipient arc-continent collision along two trench perpendicular transects in the Bashi Strait between Taiwan and Luzon.

Finite Element Procedures
TL;DR: The Finite Element Method as mentioned in this paper is a method for linear analysis in solid and structural mechanics, and it has been used in many applications, such as heat transfer, field problems, and Incompressible Fluid Flows.

New, improved version of generic mapping tools released

TL;DR: GMT allows users to manipulate (x,y,z) data, and generate PostScript illustrations, including simple x-y diagrams, contour maps, color images, and artificially illuminated, perspective, and/or shaded-relief plots using a variety of map projections.

Mechanics of fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges
TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytical theory that predicts the critical tapers of subaerial and submarine Coulomb wedges is developed and tested quantitatively in three ways: First, laboratory model experiments with dry sand match the theory.

Closure temperature in cooling geochronological and petrological systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a good approximation is obtained by relating τ to the slope of the cooling curve at the closure temperature of a geochronological system, which is defined as its temperature at the time corresponding to its apparent age.

Dynamics of the stream‐power river incision model: Implications for height limits of mountain ranges, landscape response timescales, and research needs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the stream power erosion model in an effort to elucidate its consequences in terms of large-scale topographic (fluvial) relief and its sensitivity to tectonic and climatic forcing.
