Introduction to the Uplift-Climate Connection

  • Chapter
Tectonic Uplift and Climate Change

Abstract

Studying the history of the Earth is inherently a highly interdisciplinary task requiring knowledge in many fields of science. This book addresses a provocative interdisciplinary Earth-history problem: the nature of the linkage between uplift of the Earth’s surface and its climatic history. This elusive relationship has interested those studying the history of the Earth for over a century and has in recent years emerged as a focus of wide interest among a large number of scientists.
