The corrugated topography of the Basin and … The corrugated topography of the Basin and Range province of North America is the manifestation of a coupling between tectonics and topographic evolution. Researchers in the USGS Geologic Mapping program are discussing a new multi-year project to conduct variable-scale mapping on a large east-west transect from Colorado through Nevada. This promises to produce fundamental observations about the history of deformation, erosion, and deposition across gradients in climate, lithology, and rates and durations of tectonic deformation. My research interest in this endeavor is to identify natural experiments where spatial substitutions could help understand the role and record of tectonics (among other forcings) in landscape morphology. This conference would be a great opportunity to learn more about the issues central to the pursuits of a broader academic community and to identify collaborations that could benefit from geologic maps (with associated data) constructed by the USGS. In particular, I would look forward to discussions about how we as a community can incorporate geologic data (e.g., spatial and geometric data from maps and geo- and thermo- chronologic data) into coupled tectonic-surface process models. How can we use primary geologic observations in an effort to test both our numerical models and our interpretations of the geologic framework? I have limited experience with the tectonic side of this problem, so could gain a lot from interacting with this group.in a lot from interacting with this group. +
