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

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 …

We model 56 segments of subduction zones using kinematically defined slabs based on
updated geometries from Syracuse and Abers (2006) to obtain a comprehensive suite of …

The third edition of this widely acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
all aspects of global tectonics, and includes major revisions to reflect the most significant …

Located in the central Andes, the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) is the location of
an 11–1 Ma silicic volcanic field, one of the largest and youngest on Earth. Yet its …

The dynamics of subduction under an active margin are analysed by using a 2D‐coupled
petrological–thermomechanical numerical model of an oceanic–continental subduction …

It is well recognized that active arc volcanism at nearly all subduction zones requires
temperatures greater than 1200° C in the subarc mantle, despite the underthrusting cool …

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 …

Seismic inversion for three-dimensional variations of velocity and attenuation are often used
to delineate magma bodies in the crust and upper mantle. Problems related to spatial …

Convergent margin volcanism originates with partial melting, primarily of the upper mantle,
into which the subducting slab descends,. Melting of this material can occur in one of two …
