“…This actively growing mountain front has experienced an average uplift rate of around 1 mm yr -1 since ~150 kyr B.P., with a three-to five-fold lower rate during the middle Pleistocene (Cyr and Granger, 2008;Picotti and Pazzaglia, 2008). Regional studies on river terraces have allowed the reconstruction of phases of incision and aggradation and their links to local tectonics, climate, and vegetation changes in the catchment areas, and of the extent of anthropogenic influences (Gunderson et al, 2014;Picotti et al, 2009;Ponza et al, 2010;Wegmann and Pazzaglia, 2009;Wilson et al, 2009). Large epigenic caves have been carved in several of these catchments, with some hosting active channels and preserving a series of vertically stacked cave levels.…”
