Collaborative Research: Cenozoic Exhumation and Tilting in the Southern Coast Mountains

0001223 Farley 0001147 Rusmore地形、构造、折返和气候之间的关系很复杂，很难识别和分离这些因素。不列颠哥伦比亚省海岸山脉是一个单一的地貌山脉，北部为转换边缘，南部为收敛边缘，但初步数据表明，沿该山脉长度方向的新生代折返历史是一致的。这种情况为评价控制这一山脉形成和演化的主导机制提供了机会。这项工作包括对造山带南部的低温地质年代学、古地磁和构造进行综合研究，并与北方最近的类似工作进行比较。这些结果有望阐明控制该造山带地形的因素，这将有助于从总体上理解山脉的形成。

0001223 Farley0001147 RusmoreThe relationships between topography, tectonics, exhumation and climate are complex, and identifying and separating the factors is difficult. The Coast Mountains of British Columbia are a single physiographic range bordered by a transform margin in the north and a convergent margin in the south, yet preliminary data indicates that the Cenozoic exhumation history along the length of the range was uniform. This circumstance provides an opportunity to evaluate the dominant mechanism controlling the formation and evolution of this mountain range. The work involves an integrated low-temperature geochronologic, paleomagnetic and structural study across the southern part of the orogen and comparison to similar recent work to the north. Results are expected to shed light on the factors controlling topography in this orogen, which should help understand the formation of mountain ranges in general.
