The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Collisional Orogeny in the Scandinavian Caledonides (COSC) (2010, methodology): “11), as modelled by Beaumont et al. (2001) and further elaborated by Jamieson el al.”
Models of crustal flow in the India–Asia collision zone (2006, methodology): “Beaumont et al. (2001) used a temperaturedependent viscosity for crustal flow which had the effect of confining flow to a lower crustal channel.”
Past, Present, and Future of Thermochronology (2005, methodology): “…data are now increasingly used to constrain thermal-kinematic and geodynamic models of tectonic (e.g., Rahn and Grasemann 1999; Batt et al. 2001; Beaumont et al. 2001; Ehlers 2005), topographic, and erosional processes (e.g., Stuwe et al. 1994; Mancktelow and Grasemann 1997; Ehlers and Farley…”
Crustal flow modes in large hot orogens (2006, methodology): “1a), leading to weak viscous regions in the crust that may contain in situ partial melts and that may undergo gravitationally-driven channel flows (Bird 1991; Westaway 1995; Royden 1996; Royden et al. 1997; Beaumont et al. 2001; Shen et al. 2001).”
