Tectonic evolution of the Central Andean plateau and implications for the growth of plateaus
Current end-member models for the geodynamic evolution of orogenic plateaus predict (a)
slow and steady rise during crustal shortening and ablative subduction (ie, continuous …

Causes and consequences of flat-slab subduction in southern Peru
Flat or near-horizontal subduction of oceanic lithosphere has been an important tectonic

Widening of the Andes: An interplay between subduction dynamics and crustal wedge tectonics
Shortening of the continental lithosphere is generally accommodated by the growth of
crustal wedges building above megathrusts in the mantle lithosphere. We show that the …
