Review of erosion dynamics along the major NS climatic gradient in Chile and perspectives
Chile is an elongated country, running in a north-south direction for more than 30° along a
subduction zone. Its climate is progressively wetter and colder from north to south. This …

Tectonosedimentary evolution of the coastal cordillera and central depression of South-Central Chile (36° 30′-42° S)
A Encinas, L Sagripanti, MP Rodríguez, D Orts… - Earth-Science …, 2021 - Elsevier
The forearc of south-central Chile (36° 30′-42° S) is characterized by the presence of a
Coastal Cordillera and a low lying area known as the Central Depression. The origin of …

Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the Andean Orogen between 31 and 37 S (Chile and Western Argentina)
In this classic segment, many tectonic processes, like flat-subduction, terrane accretion and
steepening of the subduction, among others, provide a robust framework for their …

Thermochronologic evidence for late Eocene Andean mountain building at 30 S
AC Lossada, L Giambiagi, GD Hoke, PG Fitzgerald… - …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The Andes between 28° and 30° S represent a transition between the Puna‐Altiplano
Plateau and the Frontal/Principal Cordillera fold‐and‐thrust belts to the south. While …

Deep weathering in the semi-arid Coastal Cordillera, Chile
The weathering front is the boundary beneath Earth's surface where pristine rock is
converted into weathered rock. It is the base of the “critical zone”, in which the lithosphere …

Physiographic and tectonic settings of high-sulfidation epithermal gold–silver deposits of the Andes and their controls on mineralizing processes
T Bissig, AH Clark, A Rainbow, A Montgomery - Ore Geology Reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
Gold and silver ores in the vast majority of Andean high-sulfidation epithermal Au–Ag
deposits occur at high present day elevations and typically 200–500 m below low relief …

Latitudinal and longitudinal patterns of exhumation in the Andes of north‐central Chile
New thermochronometric data provide evidence for an along‐strike diachronous building of
the Andes in north‐central Chile (28.5–32° S). Geochronological (U‐Pb zircon) and …

Geomorphologic and glacial evolution of the cachapoal and southern maipo catchments in the andean principal cordillera, central Chile (34-35º s)
We present here a reconstruction of the post late Miocene landscape evolution of the
western slope of the Andean Cordillera Principal near 34 20'S. We base our analysis on the …

Erosion in the Chilean Andes between 27 S and 39 S: tectonic, climatic and geomorphic control
S Carretier, V Tolorza, MP Rodríguez… - Geological Society …, 2015 - lyellcollection.org
The effect of mean precipitation rate on erosion is debated. Three hypotheses may explain
why the current erosion rate and runoff may be spatially uncorrelated:(1) the topography has …

Chronology of Chilean Frontal Cordillera building from geochronological, stratigraphic and geomorphological data insights from Miocene intramontane‐basin …
Abstract The Chilean Frontal Cordillera, near 28° 45′ S, provides a remarkable example to
explore the evolution of the Central Andes; this area provides conspicuous pediment …
