Abstract The Central Andes between 18° S and 36° S latitude strike north-south for 2000 km
along the Chilean subduction margin, cross several climate zones from hyperarid to humid …

Abstract The Atacama Desert on the western margin of the Central Andes is one of the driest
and oldest deserts in the world. It is defined by a distinct and ancient surface, known as the …

The Neogene history of the Central Andes records one of Earth's most productive periods of
high-flux silicic magmatism. Subduction of an aseismic ridge, the Juan Fernández Ridge …

Abstract The Central Andes is a key global location to study the enigmatic relation between
volcanism and plutonism because it has been the site of large ignimbrite-forming eruptions …

The role of magmatic processes as a significant mechanism for the generation of
voluminous silicic crust and the development of Cordilleran plateaus remains a lingering …

The high values of La/Yb (> 15–20) obtained from late Eocene to Pliocene volcanic rocks of
central Tibet indicate that source regions were in a thickened (> 35 km) crust. The higher …

We present a new seismic tomography model for the crust and upper mantle beneath the
Central Andes based on multi‐scale full seismic waveform inversion, proceeding from long …

Abstract Salars of the Andean Plateau in the Central Andes are the largest lithium deposits
on Earth. The most notorious are the Chilean Salar de Atacama, and Uyuni in the Bolivian …

Abstract The Southern Puna (∼ 24° S to 27° S) is an outstanding segment of the Central
Andes where the subduction of aseismic ridges, multi-scale lithospheric foundering, and the …

Biological dispersal is increasingly seen as a primary driver of speciation across the tropical
Andes. Similarly, growing evidence suggests that the Northern Andes cordilleras formed as …
