The Amazonian rainforest is arguably the most species-rich terrestrial ecosystem in the
world, yet the timing of the origin and evolutionary causes of this diversity are a matter of …

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 …

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

A poorly understood lag time of 15–20 my exists between the initial Arabia-Eurasia
continental collision in late Eocene to early Oligocene time and the acceleration of tectonic …

The history of the southern central Andes, including the world's second largest plateau and
adjacent intermontane basins and ranges of the Eastern Cordillera and the northern Sierras …

Simultaneous breakthroughs in our understanding of plate-tectonic processes, depositional
systems, subsidence mechanisms, chronostratigraphy, and basin-exploration methods have …

Mountain ranges are known to have a first-order control on mid-latitude climate, but previous
studies have shown that the Andes have little effect on the large-scale circulation over South …

Rivers that receive significant amounts of their surface water supply from monsoon
precipitation characteristically experience seasonal floods, and display seasonally highly …

Sandstones form the backdrop to some of the world's most spectacular scenery, and are
found all over the planet and in all climates. Following on from the authors' successful 1992 …

Alluvial and fluvial fans are the most widespread depositional landforms bordering the
margins of long-lived highland regions and actively subsiding continental basins, across a …
