Abstract The Andean Plateau of north‐western Argentina (Puna) at a mean elevation of ca.
4.2 km constitutes the southern continuation of the Altiplano; it is a compressional basin‐and …

Two tectonic shortening events created the first-order structural characteristics of the Puna
plateau: one in the Paleozoic and a second during the Andean Orogeny in the Cenozoic. To …

Unravelling the spatiotemporal evolution of the Cenozoic Andean (Altiplano‐Puna) plateau
has been one of the most intriguing problems of South American geology. Despite a number …

The structural and topographic evolution of orogenic plateaus is an important research topic
because of its impact on atmospheric circulation patterns, the amount and distribution of …

Cordilleran orogens are complex tectonic systems, strongly influenced by lithospheric
deformation and exhumation. However, in the type region of the Central Andes, the timing …

The sub-Andean region of the North Patagonian Andes is located between the north
Patagonian foreland and the highest elevations of the Andean Cordillera. Its Tertiary …

The fault‐bounded Cianzo basin represents a Cenozoic depocenter between the Puna
plateau and Eastern Cordillera of northern Argentina. Analysis of fold‐thrust relationships …

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 …

Constraining the pre‐Neogene history of the Puna plateau is crucial for establishing the
initial conditions that attended the early stage evolution of the southern extent of the Andean …

The Choromoro Basin, an intramontane structural depression in the foreland fold-and-thrust
belt of the central Andes of northwestern Argentina, is underlain by Proterozoic–Recent …
