Across the world, rivers wash mountains into the sea. In the beautiful and rugged mountains of southeast Alaska, glaciers grind mountains down as fast as the earth's colliding tectonic plates ...

The study of Structural Geology and Tectonics concerns the deformation of the Earth's crust and mantle. The scale of observation can be from the submicroscopic level to a mountain chain like the Rocky ...

It is common knowledge that mountain ranges were created by tectonic forces, but how their height is maintained today is a matter of debate. A widely held view is that climate-controlled erosion ...

Intense glacial erosion has not only carved the surface of the highest coastal mountain range on earth, the spectacular St. Elias range in Alaska, but has elicited a structural response from deep ...

If you think about mountain ranges like the Andes or the Himalayas, you can come up with multiple factors that must affect their size and shape. There’s the collision of tectonic plates that squeezes ...

Craig Robert Martin receives funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Breathing quickly in the thin mountain air, my colleagues and I set down our equipment. We’re at the base of a jagged ...
