▪ Abstract The enigma of continental plateaus formed in the absence of continental collision
is embodied by the Altiplano-Puna, which stretches for 1800 km along the Central Andes …

Clues to the dynamics of the subduction process are found in the many measurable
parameters of modern subduction zones. Based on a critical appraisal of the geophysical …

We describe and present a new model of global subduction zone geometries, called Slab1.
0. An extension of previous efforts to constrain the two‐dimensional non‐planar geometry of …

Fifteen andesite-dacite stratovolcanoes on the volcanic front of a single segment of the
Andean arc show along-arc changes in isotopic and elemental ratios that demonstrate large …

The topography of the central Andes can be considered the primary tectonic “signal” of late
Cenozoic mountain building in an arid region where the effects of uplift and magmatism are …

An updated compilation of earthquake locations and focal mechanism solutions from the
International Seismological Centre and Preliminary Determination of Earthquakes is the …

The Andean volcanic arc includes over 200 potentially active Quaternary volcanoes, and at
least 12 giant caldera/ignimbrite systems, occurring in four separate segments referred to as …

The geometry of the subducted Rivera and Cocos plates beneath the North American plate
in southern Mexico was determined based on the accurately located hypocenters of local …

This study examines thermal and structural controls of the updip and downdip rupture limits
of great subduction thrust earthquakes. Data on past great earthquake seismic limits have …

Hardly a week passes without our learning of natural geologic disaster somewhere in the
world, be it a volcanic eruption, landslide, or destructive earthquake. The prominent public …
