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 …

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

We use about two decades of geodetic measurements to characterize interseismic strain
build up along the Central Andes subduction zone from Lima, Peru, to Antofagasta, Chile …

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 …

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 …

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 …

We document a crustal‐scale structural model for the central Chile Andes based on
seismicity and surface geology, which consists in a major east verging ramp‐detachment …

Cenozoic strata in the central Andes of northwestern Argentina record the development and
migration of a regional foreland basin system analogous to the modern Chaco‐Paraná …

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 …
