[HTML][HTML] Coupled tectonic evolution of Andean orogeny and global climate
The largest tectonic relief breaking the Earth's surface (13 km vertically) is at the subduction
margin of the Andes, which generates routinely megathrust earthquakes (Mw> 8.5) and …

River terraces and alluvial fans: The case for an integrated Quaternary fluvial archive
The fluvial archive literature is dominated by research on river terraces with appropriate
mention of adjacent environments such as lakes. Despite modern sedimentary basins …

Landscape modification in response to repeated onset of hyperarid paleoclimate states since 14 Ma, Atacama Desert, Chile
The landscape of the hyperarid Atacama Desert in northern Chile records extremely slow
change on Earth's surface. Disputed ages for the onset of hyperaridity range from the late …

Climatic fluctuations in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert during the past 215 ka
Paleoclimate records from the Atacama Desert are rare and mostly discontinuous, mainly
recording runoff from the Precordillera to the east, rather than local precipitation. Until now …

Uplift of the Altiplano‐Puna plateau: A view from the west
The western flank of the Central Andean Plateau is a crustal‐scale monoclinal fold,
expressed in the geomorphology and in the westward tilt of fore‐arc basin strata. Data from …

The spatial distribution of soluble salts in the surface soil of the Atacama Desert and their relationship to hyperaridity
We systematically investigated the spatial distribution of sulfates, chlorides, and nitrates in
Atacama Desert soils in order to identify their relationship to long-term aridity gradients and …

The relationships between tectonics, climate and exhumation in the Central Andes (18–36 S): Evidence from low-temperature thermochronology
Abstract The Central Andes between 18° S and 36° S latitude strike north-south for 2000 km
along the Chilean subduction margin, cross several climate zones from hyperarid to humid …

Review of erosion dynamics along the major NS climatic gradient in Chile and perspectives
Chile is an elongated country, running in a north-south direction for more than 30° along a
subduction zone. Its climate is progressively wetter and colder from north to south. This …

Geomorphology on geologic timescales: Evolution of the late Cenozoic Pacific paleosurface in Northern Chile and Southern Peru
Abstract The Atacama Desert on the western margin of the Central Andes is one of the driest
and oldest deserts in the world. It is defined by a distinct and ancient surface, known as the …
