As the archetype of mountain building in subduction zones, the Central Andes has
constituted an excellent example for investigating mountain-building processes for decades …

We performed a teleseismic P wave tomography study using seismic events at both
teleseismic and regional distances, recorded by a temporary seismic array in the Argentine …

In continental-margin subduction zones, basalt magmas spawned in the mantle interact with
the crust to produce a broad spectrum of volcanic arc associations. A distinct style of very …

Crustal thickness and elevation variations control mountain building and climate change at
convergent margins. As an archetypal Andean-type convergent margin, eastern Asia …

Salars with lithium-rich brines are a characteristic feature of the Central Andes, but
knowledge about the main sources of lithium and the mobilization processes of lithium in the …

Abstract The Central Andes is a key global location to study the enigmatic relation between
volcanism and plutonism because it has been the site of large ignimbrite-forming eruptions …

In general, seismic methods provide a reliable way to image the crust–mantle interface,
which is marked by a rapid increase in seismic velocity (the Moho). However, the coverage …

The vertical transport of large volumes of silicic magma, which drives volcanic eruptions and
the long‐term compositional evolution of the continental crust, is a highly debated problem …

Abstract The Altiplano-Puna Magma Body (APMB) in the Central Andes is the largest
imaged magma reservoir on Earth, and is located within the second highest orogenic …

Dehydration of the oceanic subducting slab promotes the formation of magmatic arcs, intra-
slab intermediate-depth seismicity, and hydration of the overlying mantle wedge. However …
