Abstract: The erosion of a mountain range can lead to reduced or increased topographical relief. In both cases, the Earth's crust rises in response to this erosion, producing potentially higher peaks, which might drive the climate to a more erosive (and cooler) state. A new analysis suggests that changes in erosion from global cooling actually produce lower peaks, which are less likely to cause further cooling.
