		The water in these paintings is not the Jordan River, but one or several of the streams issuing from the Wasatch canyons, and ponds or impoundments associated with these streams.

	Exhumation of the central Wasatch Mountains, Utah: 2. Thermokinematic model of exhumation, erosion, and ...
		The Wasatch fault is a ∼370 km long normal fault in Utah that marks the boundary between the stable Colorado Plateau to the east and the extending Basin and Range to the west.
		We explore the thermokinematics of footwall exhumation and erosion in the Cottonwood Intrusive Belt of the central Wasatch Mountains.
		Emphasis is placed on using low-temperature thermochronometers to quantify (1) the spatial and temporal variability of exhumation and erosion rates, (2) the geometry of footwall tilt, (3) the fault dip angle, and (4) the magnitude and duration of exhumation.
