▪ Abstract The enigma of continental plateaus formed in the absence of continental collision
is embodied by the Altiplano-Puna, which stretches for 1800 km along the Central Andes …

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

Late Cenozoic Andean deformation in the Pampean segment of Argentina and Chile (27°
00′–33° 30′ S) provides an exceptional opportunity to study the orogenic effects of flat …

The Andean volcanic arc includes over 200 potentially active Quaternary volcanoes, and at
least 12 giant caldera/ignimbrite systems, occurring in four separate segments referred to as …

There is no consensus on the processes responsible for near-coeval formation of Archaean
continental crust (dominantly tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite: TTG), greenstone belts …

The cause and geodynamic impact of flat subduction are investigated. First, the 1500 km
long Peru flat slab segment is examined. Earthquake hypocenter data image two …

Magmatic fertility to generate porphyry-and high-sulfidation copper ore deposits generally
develops, not at the scale of individual igneous complexes, but rather at the scale of …

Digital Terrain Analysis in Soil Science and Geology, Second Edition, synthesizes the
knowledge on methods and applications of digital terrain analysis and geomorphometry in …

Slab melting has been suggested as a likely source of adakitic arc magmas (ie, andesitic
and dacitic magmas strongly depleted in Y and heavy rare earth elements). Existing …

The Andes make up the largest orogenic system developed by subduction of oceanic crust
along a continental margin. Subduction began soon after the breakup of Rodinia in Late …
