... delamination of the lower portion, while most of the delaminated lithosphere would eventually relaminate to the base of the lithosphere after sufficient warming inside the convective mantle. This process generates enduring (>100 Myr) and prominent (>1 km) surface uplifts within continents, a mechanism...

... and of A. uspallata with A. schistacea. The origin of extant abrocomids was estimated at the late Miocene (~5.6 million years ago, Ma) with the subsequent origin of arboreal species during the early Pliocene (~4.3 Ma) and the ACC during the late Pliocene (~3.3 Ma). We hypothesize that topographic uplift...

The Shawmere Anorthosite Complex is located in the Kapuskasing Uplift, which is the largest exposed segment of the Kapuskasing Structural Zone in the Chapleau...

... hypotheses on the individual direct and indirect effects of these factors on diversification rates. We find strongest support for interlinked effects of colonization of the uplifting Andes during the mid-Miocene and rapid abiotic climatic niche evolution in explaining a burst in diversification rate...

... biodiversity. Despite the central role of these processes in biodiversity dynamics, key methodological and empirical challenges remain in understanding how lineages respond to events such as continental drift, large-scale climatic changes, and mountain uplift. Furthermore, the extent to which macro...

... biodiverse regions on the planet, and how these landforms shape diversification through the interaction of biological traits and geo-climatic dynamics is integral to understanding global biodiversity. In this study, we investigate the dual roles of climate change and mountain uplift on the evolution...

We also assess possible relationships between the formation of post-collisional mantle-derived rocks and the occurrence of surface uplift in central...

... The role of the geological uplift and climatic changes during the late Cenozoic on the species diversification of southern African dung beetles is not fully understood. Therefore, we use a divergence-time-estimated phylogeny, macroevolutionary analyses and ecological niche modelling under different...

... (revised from Yang et al. 2013 ). The main part of the figure is the enlargement of the blue area of the map at the bottom left-hand corner. W–E trending zonation was formed by the uplift of the eastern part of the African continent in Paleogene. So the West African edge tilted westward...

... The generation of Miocene–Pliocene post-collisional magmatic rocks in northern Tibet was coeval with surface uplift, meaning that understanding the petrogenesis of these rocks should provide clues to the mechanism of uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. However, the nature of the source(s) of Miocene–Pliocene post...

Based on a discussion of the evaluation factors involved at the level of trap exploration, fuzzy AHP was used to assign reliable weights for the GRA calculation. The proposed method was tested in the Laoshan Uplift in the South Yellow Basin...

... revision. We discuss the biogeographical history of the group, and find parallels with other previously studied Andean birds which may indicate that tectonic and climatic events might, at least in part, be linked to its diversification through the uplift of the Andes, the creation of new montane habitats...

... this extension remains unclear and surface expression of E–W extension in terms of normal faults is minor (≤40 km) [ 22 ], it is possible that surface faulting reflects more extensive plastic rock movement at depth (termed lower crustal flow) [ 23 ]. One result of this would have been uplift along the south...

The question is whether the GRACE-derived land uplift rate by our method is related to GIA. A suitable post-processing method for the GRACE data is selected based on weighted...
