T32B:
Climate-Tectonic Coupling in Orogens: Taiwan and Beyond I


Session ID#: 10786

Session Description:
It’s been three decades since the recognition that mass redistribution by erosion modulates the growth and evolution of orogenic systems.  The interdependent relationships between topographic growth, orographic precipitation, sediment delivery and geomorphic systems, however, remain highly uncertain.  Moreover, although many of these concepts emerged from studies of the Taiwanese orogen, they have been both tested and applied to mountain belts across the globe.   This session will bring together research in climatology, tectonics, and surface processes to assess the current state of understanding and identify new research directions into coupled climate-orogenic systems from around the world.  We welcome contributions from field studies, numerical models, and theoretical approaches that explore feedbacks among various components of these systems.
