Cenozoic Surface Elevation in Southwestern Montana and Eastern Idaho: A Stable Isotope Study
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The topographic evolution of the western United States is a matter of debate because of the limited number of reliable proxies for paleoelevation and paleorelief. A better understanding of this topographic history, however, can help identify the feedbacks between topography, tectonics, and climate. This study uses oxygen isotopes from fluvial and lacustrine carbonates in southwestern Montana and eastern Idaho to examine paleotopography in this region during the Cenozoic.
