Landscape Evolution of Continental-Scale River Systems: A Case Study of North America's Pre-Pleistocene Bell River Basin provides a detailed case study and complete analysis of this continental-scale North American paleo-river system. This book uses detrital zircon provenance data to link incision of the Grand Canyon to deposition of its erosional products in a giant drowned delta in the Labrador Sea, in the context of sedimentary source-to-sink processes and Plio-Pleistocene continental drainage changes. The case study describes the tectonic changes in this continental scale paleo-river system, with global implications, and contrasts this system to other continental-scale river systems around the world. Landscape Evolution of Continental-Scale River Systems; A Case Study of North America's Pre-Pleistocene Bell River Basin is a valuable reference for postgraduate students, academics, and researchers in the fields of geology, fluvial geomorphology, and other geosciences. These readers will be able to use this detailed case study to better understand the implications for how active tectonics of headwaters regions influence delta deposition in continental-scale river systems around the world. Key Features, Details the landscape evolution of a continental-scale paleo-river system using detrital zircon geochronology with fluvial processes, Provides a multidisciplinary case study with application to other continental-scale river systems around the world Compares and contrasts the Bell River to the Amazon and uses these examples as analogs to discuss other systems.
