Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

▪ Abstract The enigma of continental plateaus formed in the absence of continental collision
is embodied by the Altiplano-Puna, which stretches for 1800 km along the Central Andes …

Students of a phenomenon as common but complex as andesite genesis often are
overwhelmed by, or overlook, the volume and diversity of relevant information. Thus there is …

Construction of the Andes has been governed largely by fluctuating contractional, neutral,
and extensional tectonic regimes during differing degrees of mechanical coupling along the …

Fifteen andesite-dacite stratovolcanoes on the volcanic front of a single segment of the
Andean arc show along-arc changes in isotopic and elemental ratios that demonstrate large …

IGNEOUS ROCKS AND PROCESSES A practical introduction to igneous petrology for
students and practitioners The newly revised Second Edition of Igneous Rocks and …

Lithospheric extension is sited, preferentially, along orogenic belts because they have a
thicker continental crust, contain structural inhomogeneities, and suffer extensional orogenic …

The topography of the central Andes can be considered the primary tectonic “signal” of late
Cenozoic mountain building in an arid region where the effects of uplift and magmatism are …

An updated compilation of earthquake locations and focal mechanism solutions from the
International Seismological Centre and Preliminary Determination of Earthquakes is the …

Late Cenozoic Andean deformation in the Pampean segment of Argentina and Chile (27°
00′–33° 30′ S) provides an exceptional opportunity to study the orogenic effects of flat …
