Andean mountain building did not preclude dispersal of lowland Epiphytic orchids in the Neotropics. by Pérez-Escobar, O, Gottschling, M, Chomicki, G, Condamine, F, Klitgård, B, Pansarin, E, Gerlach, G

“…Notably, these rare biological exchanges occurred well after major mountain building periods. The Andes have limited plant migration, yet it has seldom allowed episodic gene exchange of lowland epiphyte lineages such as orchids with great potential for effortless dispersal because of the very light, anemochorous seeds.…”

Comparing Tibet-Himalayan and Caledonian crustal architecture, evolution and mountain building processes by Streule, M, Strachan, R, Searle, M, Law, R

Vertical axis rotation (or lack thereof) of the eastern Mongolian Altay Mountains: Implications for far-field transpressional mountain building by Gregory, LC, Mac Niocaill, C, Walker, RT, Bayasgalan, G, Craig, TJ

Two-stage subduction history under North America inferred from multiple-frequency tomography by Sigloch, K, McQuarrie, N, Nolet, G

“…We argue that the separation between them is linked to the Laramide era 70-50 Myr ago, a time of unusual volcanism and mountain-building far inland generally explained by an episode of extremely flat subduction. © 2008 Macmillan Publishers Limited.…”

The origin of mountains - implications for the behaviour of Earth's lithosphere by Lamb, S, Watts, A

“…The nature of deformation during mountain building is strongly controlled by the interaction of lithosphere of different strengths.…”

Intra-oceanic subduction shaped the assembly of Cordilleran North America. by Sigloch, K, Mihalynuk, MG

“…Crustal accretion occurred when North America overrode the archipelagos, causing major episodes of Cordilleran mountain building.…”

Structure of orogenic belts controlled by lithosphere age by Mouthereau, F, Watts, A, Burov, E

“…We conclude that inherited lithospheric strength influences the style and amount of plate-tectonic contraction during mountain building, and thus the stability of continental subduction. …”

Late Jurassic palaeoclimatic change from clay mineralogy and gamma-ray spectrometry of the Kimmeridge Clay, Dorset, UK by Hesselbo, S, Deconinck, J, Huggett, J, Morgans-Bell, H

“…Such changes could not have resulted from mountain building or continental rotations. © 2009 Geological Society of London.…”

Erosion-driven uplift in the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains of East Antarctica by Paxman, G, Watts, A, Ferraccioli, F, Jordan, T, Bell, R, Jamieson, S, Finn, C

“…<p>The relative roles of climate and tectonics in mountain building have been widely debated. Central to this debate is the process of flexural uplift in response to valley incision. …”

Late Quaternary rates of uplift and shortening at Baatar Hyarhan (Mongolian Altai) with optically stimulated luminescence by Nissen, E, Walker, R, Molor, E, Fattahi, M, Bayasgalan, A

“…We investigate mountain building in the Altai range of western Mongolia, focusing on Baatar Hyarhan, a NW-trending massif bounded by active thrust faults. …”
