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 …

The kinematic evolution of the Patagonian fold-and-thrust belt and cogenetic Magallanes
retroarc foreland basin is reconstructed using new geologic mapping, two-dimensional (2-D) …

During evolution of the South Sandwich subduction zone, which has consumed South
American Plate oceanic lithosphere, somehow continental crust of both the South American …

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

A minimum-complexity tectonic reconstruction, based on published and new basin opening
models, depicts how the Scotia Sea grew by Cenozoic plate divergence, dismembering a …

Abstract The Zagros Orogen, marking the closure of the Neo-Tethyan Ocean, formed by
continental collision beginning in the late Eocene to early Miocene. Collision was preceded …

Transient and episodic slow slip accommodates a great deal of tectonic strain and may be
mechanically linked with locked regions of seismically hazardous faults. Best documented in …

Paleogeographic maps are essential tools for understanding Earth system dynamics. They
provide boundary conditions for climate and geodynamic modelling, for analysing surface …

The southern Patagonian Andes constitute the narrow, high-latitude end of the Andean
orogen belt in South America, where inherited basin paleogeography, subduction …
