Structural drivers of exhumation in compressional orogens: examples from western Nepal

Abstract. The magnitude and location of vertical uplift in fold-thrust belts is a function of the geometry, duration, and timing of faults and how these structures have evolved over time. Yet in the Himalaya, uncertainties persist in whether vertical uplift and exhumation are dri...

The distribution and origin of Mercury’s crustal magnetization

Mercury is the only planet other than Earth to possess both a global magnetic field that arises from a core dynamo, and a crustal magnetic field that arises from magnetized rocks. Crustal fields provide unique records of a planet’s interior state and evolution because magnetizati...
