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

Abstract The Lithium Triangle, a zone of the Central Andes characterized by the presence of
lithium (Li)-rich salt pans within endorheic basins, has gained a worldwide reputation chiefly …

We present stable hydrogen-isotope analyses of volcanic glass (δ Dg) and radiometric ages
(U–Pb zircon, U–Th calcite, AMS14C) from deformed sedimentary deposits in the vicinity of …

Abstract The Andean Plateau of north‐western Argentina (Puna) at a mean elevation of ca.
4.2 km constitutes the southern continuation of the Altiplano; it is a compressional basin‐and …

The Eocene compressional phase is well known to have contributed to the construction of
the Andes orogen at latitudes north of 30° S, but its extension to the south has not been fully …

The Andes are the culmination of shortening and crustal thickening that commenced during
Late Cretaceous time. First-order questions regarding the tectonic evolution of the central …

We present three‐dimensional (3D) models of the present‐day steady‐state conductive
thermal field and strength distribution in the lithosphere beneath the Central Andes. Our …

Abstract The southern Central Andes (SCA)(between 27° S and 40° S) is bordered to the
west by the convergent margin between the continental South American Plate and the …

The limit between the Puna and the Eastern Cordillera is an area of geological complexity
where Cenozoic tectonic, volcanic and sedimentary processes overlap. In this contribution …

Abstract Within the Central Andes of NW Argentina, the spatiotemporal distribution and style
of deformation is strongly influenced by pre‐Cenozoic heterogeneities, mostly related to the …
