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

Landscapes are shaped by the uplift, deformation and breakdown of bedrock and the
erosion, transport and deposition of sediment. Life is important in all of these processes …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

We discuss the relationships between Andean shortening, plate velocities at the trench, and
slab geometry beneath South America. Although some correlation exists between the …

Mediterranean basin exposed to ongoing processes of erosion and deformation.
Neotectonics is the study of the geological processes involved in the deformation of the …

Diverse techniques have been applied over the past decade to quantify the uplift history of
the central Andean Plateau (AP). In this study, opposing models for surface uplift are …

The present-day great availability of high-resolution Digital Elevation Models has improved
tectonic geomorphology analyses in their methodological aspects and geological meaning …

In March 2015 unusual ocean and atmospheric conditions produced many years' worth of
rainfall in a~ 48 h period over northern Chile's Atacama Desert, one of Earth's driest regions …

The quantification of geomorphic process rates on the outcrop-and the orogen-scale is
important to describe accurately the interaction between the relative effects of erosion …

Abstract The Chilean Coastal Cordillera features a spectacular climate and vegetation
gradient, ranging from arid and unvegetated areas in the north to humid and forested areas …
