Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

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 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 …

Construction of the Andes has been governed largely by fluctuating contractional, neutral,
and extensional tectonic regimes during differing degrees of mechanical coupling along the …

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 …

New thermochronometric data from the Eastern Cordillera of the Colombian Andes reveal
diachronous exhumation associated with Cenozoic contractional deformation in this sector …

Diverse techniques have been applied over the past decade to quantify the uplift history of
the central Andean Plateau (AP). In this study, opposing models for surface uplift are …
