Exhumation at orogenic indentor corners under long-term glacial conditions: Example of the St. Elias orogen, Southern Alaska

Syntaxial bends in convergent plate boundaries, or indentor corners, display some of the most intriguing deformation patterns on Earth and are type localities for “aneurysms” of coupled erosion, thermal weakening, and strain. The St. Elias orogen in Alaska is a small, young convergent system that ha...
