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

Elastic anisotropy is present where the speed of a seismic wave depends on its direction. In
Earth's mantle, elastic anisotropy is induced by minerals that are preferentially oriented in a …

New thermal‐petrologic models of subduction zones are used to test the hypothesis that
intermediate‐depth intraslab earthquakes are linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions …

A wide range of geophysical and geological data indicate that extensive serpentinization in
the forearc mantle is both expected and observed. Large volumes of aqueous fluids must be …

We have studied faulting associated with bending of the incoming oceanic plate along
segments of Middle America and Chile subduction zones and its relationship to intermediate …

In this study, we present high‐resolution seismicity images of the northern Chile subduction
zone forearc. We used 8 years of continuous seismic waveform data from the Integrated …

We analyze the west vergent thrust system (WTS) along the western flank of the Altiplano in
northern Chile (18° S–21° S). In our study area (19° 20′ S–19° 50′ S), the WTS consists …

The different phases of the earthquake cycle can produce measurable deformation of the
Earth′ s surface. This work is aimed at describing the evolution of that deformation in space …

We present a quantitative reconstruction of uplift of the western flank of the Altiplano plateau
(central Andes), one of the largest monoclines on the Earth, on the basis of an analysis of …

A long‐period magnetotelluric study was carried out in the central Andes between latitudes
19.5° S and 21° S along two almost parallel profiles of 220 and 380 km length, respectively …
