Description:
Wang et al. (Reports, 21 November, 2014, p. 978) describe a buried canyon upstream of the Yarlung Tsangpo Gorge and argue that rapid erosion of the gorge was merely a passive response to rapid uplift at ~2.5 million years ago (Ma). We view these data as an expected consequence emerging from feedbacks between erosion and crustal rheology active well before 2.5 Ma.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zeitler, Peter K -- Koons, Peter O -- Hallet, Bernard -- Meltzer, Anne S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Aug 21;349(6250):799. doi: 10.1126/science.aaa9380.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA. peter.zeitler@lehigh.edu. ; Department of Earth and Climate Sciences, University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469, USA. ; Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA. ; Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA 18015, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26293946" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
