Uplift and Denudation of the Teton Range, Wyoming

Abstract

Our research group is interested in understanding the development of the dramatic relief of the Teton Range. In similar settings worldwide, relief has been examined as product of uplift and denudation. Therefore, we are combining tectonic and geomorphic studies to identify the progression of erosional processes from glacial to interglacial climates and also to refine the uplift history. By integrating these fields, we hope to gain a better understanding of the evolution of the Teton landscape.
