Mountain building in the Andes, the longest continental mountain range on Earth, started in
the Late Cretaceous but was highly diachronous. Reconstructing the timing of surface uplift …

The surface uplift of mountain belts is generally assumed to reflect progressive shortening
and crustal thickening, leading to their gradual rise. Recent studies of the Andes indicate …

Abstract Compositional variations of Central Andean subduction-related igneous rocks
reflect the plate-tectonic evolution of this active continental margin through time and space …

The largest tectonic relief breaking the Earth's surface (13 km vertically) is at the subduction
margin of the Andes, which generates routinely megathrust earthquakes (Mw> 8.5) and …

Current end-member models for the geodynamic evolution of orogenic plateaus predict (a)
slow and steady rise during crustal shortening and ablative subduction (ie, continuous …

Abstract The Central and Eastern Anatolian plateaus are integral parts of the world's third
largest orogenic plateau. In the past decade, geophysical surveys have provided insights …

Abstract Aim The tropical Andes are a world biodiversity hotspot. With diverse biomes and
dramatic, geologically recent mountain uplift, they offer a system to study the relative …

Uplifted Neogene marine sediments and Quaternary fluvial terraces in the Mut Basin,
southern Turkey, reveal a detailed history of surface uplift along the southern margin of the …

Recent elevation reconstructions of the Andean Plateau suggest a rapid 2.5±1.0 km rise of
the central Andes between~ 10 and 6 Ma. This rapid rise has been attributed to a …

Eastward transport and clockwise rotation of crust around the southeastern margin of the
Tibetan Plateau dominates active deformation east of the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis …
