Are the effects of vegetation and soil changes as important as climate change impacts on hydrological processes? by K. Rasouli, K. Rasouli, J. W. Pomeroy, P. H. Whitfield, P. H. Whitfield

“…The response of mountain hydrology to vegetation/soil changes in the present and a future climate was modeled in three snowmelt-dominated mountain basins in the North American Cordillera. The models developed for each basin using the Cold Regions Hydrological Modeling platform employed current and expected changes to vegetation and soil parameters and were driven with recent and perturbed high-altitude meteorological observations. …”

Eocene Volcanic Complex from Central British Columbia: The Role of Fractional Crystallization during the Magmatic Evolution by Jaroslav Dostal, J. Gregory Shellnutt

“… AbstractThe Challis-Kamloops belt of south-central British Columbia is a regionally extensive (>65,000 km2) magmatic province that erupted within the North American Cordillera during the Eocene (55-45 Ma). The inland volcanic belt runs parallel to the coast, and the rocks were emplaced mainly within extensional basins indicating volcanism was attributed to rift-related decompressional melting. …”

Mantle and geological evidence for a Late Jurassic – Cretaceous suture spanning North America by Sigloch, K, Mihalynuk, M

“…These relative late suturing ages run counter to the Middle Jurassic or older timing required and asserted by the prevailing, Andean-analogue model for the North American Cordillera. We show that the arguments against late suturing are controvertible, and we present multiple lines of direct evidence for late suturing, consistent with geophysical observations. …”

Global mantle structure from multi-frequency tomography using P, PP and P-diffracted waves by Hosseini, K, Sigloch, K, Tsekhmistrenko, M, Zaheri, A, Nissen-Meyer, T, Igel, H

“…</br> <br>Seismically fast structure in the lowermost mantle is imaged as narrowly elongated belts under Eastern Asia and the Americas, presumably reflecting the palaeo-trench geometries of subduction zones and arcs that assembled Eastern Asia and the American Cordilleras in Palaeozoic and early Mesozoic times. …”
