Late Cenozoic uplift of mountain ranges and global climate change
... uplift could in fact be caused by climate change. An abrupt change in climate, as seems to have occurred at -15 Myr22, and as clearly occurred at -2.5 Myr23 , is likely to affect the rate at which the landscape evolves. An increase in alpine glaciation will incise and denude high terrains, and chang ...
