The coupling between tectonics, climate and surface processes shape the Earth, leaving diagnostic signature in the detrital sedimentary record. These processes imprint information in stratigraphic succession and single mineral phases. Multidimensional study of erosion rates, uplift, and subsidence histories, reveal how climate and tectonic forces compete over time to control the evolution of sedimentary basins and mountain chains. In addition, facies architecture and compositional variability constrain sediment sources, transport pathways, and depositional processes to advance our understanding of the interactions between surface processes, climate and tectonic deformation. We invite contributions that investigate: (1) the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins also at regional scale; (2) the source-to-sink dynamics of clastic sedimentary systems across different times and environments; (3) the climate- and tectonic-driven processes affecting stratigraphic records. Contributions involving field-based studies and analytical techniques, such as geochronology/thermochronology, geochemical analysis, and petrography applied to bedrock and detrital records are encouraged in light of a source-to-sink approach.
