Description
Summary:Addressing the linkages between global climate change, modification of surficial process dynamics, and subsequent tectonic responses requires integrated studies of orogenic and sedimentary systems in areas where specific end-members of the problem are encountered. The Gulf of Alaska borders the St. Elias orogen of Alaska and Canada, the highest coastal mountain range on Earth and the highest range in North America. This orogen is <30 m.y. in age, and mountain building occurred throughout a period of significant global climate change. This situation allowed Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 341 to examine the response of an orogenic system to the climatically driven establishment of a highly erosive glacial system. Additionally, the implications of Neogene glacial growth in the circum-North Pacific reach beyond the issue of tectonic response to increased glacial erosion and exhumation. As climate conditions determine the timing and patterns of precipitation, they control glacial dynamics, ...
