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 …

Surface uplift of the Garzón Massif in the northern Andes formed a critical orographic barrier
(2500–3000 m elevation) that generated a deep rain shadow and strongly influenced the …

Terrestrial leaf wax n-alkane biomarkers provide considerable insights into
paleoenvironmental reconstruction. Over decades, a substantial number of field …

Abstract During the Late Miocene, the climate patterns and ecosystems of continental land
masses experienced crucial transitions, but whether the principal driver was regional …

Mountainous areas host a disproportionately large fraction of Earth's biodiversity, suggesting
a causal relationship between mountain building and biological diversification. Mountain …

In this chapter, we summarize recent work on the geologic evolution of the northern Andes.
Our intention is to present current information so that scientists from other disciplines can …

The knowledge of provenance and paleoelevation of late Cretaceous‐Cenozoic terrestrial
basins is crucial in discriminating different topography growth models for Tibetan Plateau …

A continuous, long–lived sedimentary record contains important evidence bearing on the
geologic evolution of the Eastern Cordillera in the northern Andes of Colombia. Today, this …

The topographic growth of a mountain belt is commonly attributed to isostatic balance in
response to crustal and lithospheric thickening. However, deeper mantle processes may …
