Drainage divides separate Earth's surface into individual river basins. Divide migration
impacts the evolution of landforms, regional climate, ecosystems and biodiversity. In this …

The interaction of the northern Nazca and southwestern Caribbean oceanic plates with
northwestern South America (NWSA) and the collision of the Panama‐Choco arc (PCA) …

Miocene strike‐slip tectonics was responsible for creating and closing short‐lived (ca. 6 Ma)
passages and the emergence of isolated topography in the Northern Andes. These …

Extensional and flexural basins can evolve through multiple stages under the same plate
tectonic regime over tens of millions of years. The Cretaceous tectonic evolution of the …

Understanding the present-day crustal stress field is fundamental to comprehending active
deformation in complex intraplate settings. This is especially true in the Colombian North …

The aim of this Special Issue is to improve understanding of the uplift of the Andes and its far-
reaching impact on climate and biodiversity in South America from the late Mesozoic …

The incision of kilometer-scale canyons into high-standing topography is often used to
constrain the surface uplift history of mountain ranges, controlled by tectonic and …

The fluvial network in active mountain ranges is considered to evolve from longitudinal to
transverse-dominated drainage systems. This hypothesis links to the forelandward migration …

Morphotectonic parameters are sensitive to crustal and/or mantle dynamics, especially in
young convergent margins and contractional orogenic systems. In northwest Africa, the High …

Plutonic rocks typically have negligible matrix porosity and permeability. However, fractures
and mineral alterations create storage space and flow pathways that turn plutonic rocks into …
