Abstract Northwestern South America preserves a record of the assembly of western
Pangaea, its disassembly and initiation of the far western Tethys Wilson Cycle, subsequent …

As the archetype of mountain building in subduction zones, the Central Andes has
constituted an excellent example for investigating mountain-building processes for decades …

Abstract Compositional variations of Central Andean subduction-related igneous rocks
reflect the plate-tectonic evolution of this active continental margin through time and space …

The analyses of the main parameters controlling the present Chile‐type and Marianas‐type
tectonic settings developed along the eastern Pacific region show four different tectonic …

We discuss the relationships between Andean shortening, plate velocities at the trench, and
slab geometry beneath South America. Although some correlation exists between the …

La historia jurásica de la parte austral de América del Sur muestra una evolución geológica
compleja, como resultado de diferentes procesos que comenzaron a lo largo del margen …

Uncommonly long‐lived subduction and variable plate geometry along the South American
Andean Plate margin resulted in diverse relationships between magmatic flux and …

Subduction along the western margin of South America has been active since the Jurassic,
but Andean orogeny started in the middle Cretaceous and was preceded by backarc …

Magnetite is the most important iron ore in iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits which represent
the Cu-poor end-member of the iron oxide-copper–gold (IOCG) clan. Magnetite chemistry …

Shortening of the continental lithosphere is generally accommodated by the growth of
crustal wedges building above megathrusts in the mantle lithosphere. We show that the …
