DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.11.004
Abstract: Abstract Landscape evolution modeling and global compilations of exhumation data indicate that a wetter climate, mainly through orographic rainfall, can govern the spatial distribution of erosion rates and crustal strain across an orogenic wedge. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2021.117080
Abstract: Abstract For magma chambers to form or volcanic eruptions to occur magma must propagate through the crust as dikes, inclined sheets and sills. Most models that investigate magma paths assume the crust to be either… read more here.

Glacier decline in the Central Andes (33°S): Context and magnitude from satellite and historical data
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of South American Earth Sciences"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jsames.2019.102249
Abstract: Abstract Central Andes (33°S) represent a water-scarce region. During arid years, glacier runoff may constitute the main hydrological input at warm season and hence a steadfast deglacierization may represent a decrease in the regional water-budget.… read more here.
