The history of the southern central Andes, including the world's second largest plateau and adjacent intermontane basins and ranges of the Eastern Cordillera and the northern Sierras …
We present a review of the analogue modelling method, which has been used for 200 years, and continues to be used, to investigate geological phenomena and geodynamic processes …
Interaction between surface and tectonic processes plays a key role in the structural evolution, kinematics, and exhumation of rocks in orogenic wedges. The deformation …

The Subandean ranges of northwestern Argentina are an active thin-skinned fold and thrust belt. The main detachment level in Silurian shales dips 2–3° W, and all the major east …
Abstract The heterogeneous South American geology has coined a wide variety of neotectonic settings where crustal seismogenic sources do occur. This fact has led to …
This study examines the role of erosion on exhumation and deformation history of accretionary orogens through experimental and geological methods. Fault propagation …
Analog sandbox models have been set up to study the impact of syntectonic erosion on thrust wedges with one and two décollement levels. Different accretion mechanisms are …
This work includes, first, a synthesis of experimental analogue modelling programs assessing the influence of along-strike thickness variations in the development of oblique …
