Models of the evolution of the modern Transantarctic Mountains, the uplifted flank of the West Antarctic rift system, require constraints on the timing, magnitude, and spatial pattern of surface uplift, rock uplift, denudation, and faulting. This study presents a model of Cenozoic landscape developm...
