recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4079

Abstract: Catchment-wide erosion rates were defined using 10Be terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides for the Eastern Cordillera of the Colombian Andes to help determine the nature of drainage development and landscape evolution. The Eastern Cordillera, characterized by a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geog.2017.09.004

Abstract: Abstract Crustal seismicity in northwestern Mendoza Province in Argentina, corresponding to the transition zone between the Chilean-Pampean flat subduction zone (26.5–33.5°S) and the Southern Central Andes normal subduction zone to the south, is studied in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2018.02.009

Abstract: Abstract The processes driving uplift and exhumation of the highest Peruvian peaks (the Cordillera Blanca) are not well understood. Uplift and exhumation seem closely linked to the formation and movement on the Cordillera Blanca normal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2018.12.023

Abstract: Abstract A possible Mesozoic-Cenozoic trajectory for the North American craton is outlined from latitude changes of the craton derived from a revised apparent polar wander path, and from westward movement of the craton based on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020tc006684

Abstract: GPS data suggest that the NW South America corner forms a semi‐rigid block drifting NE‐ward along the regional dextral strike‐slip faults that bound an oceanic terrane accreted in Late Cretaceous times to W Ecuador and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2025tc009014

Abstract: This study presents the first rigorous statistical analysis of the present‐day crustal stress along the western margin of the North American Plate, covering the entire Canadian Cordillera and Alaska. Using circular statistics and geometric tests,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/ges02741.1

Abstract: The Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash contain some of the highest topography in the Andes and provide insight into tectonomagmatic processes associated with the onset of flat-slab subduction. These adjacent ranges shared a similar history… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjes-2016-0115

Abstract: Models of the seismic velocity structure of the crust in the seismically active northern Canadian Cordillera remain poorly constrained, despite their importance in the accurate location and characterization of regional earthquakes. On 29 August 2014,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1190/int-2020-0058.1

Abstract: The eastern foothills in the Colombian Eastern Cordillera have been an important oil-producing region since the discovery of the Cupiagua and Cusiana fields. Three organic-rich units are considered to be the main source rocks. The… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "American Journal of Science"

DOI: 10.2475/001c.115328

Abstract: The south-central Chile and Argentina margin experienced a regional phase of extensional tectonics during the Oligocene–early Miocene, forming several basins across the forearc, Andean Cordillera, and retroarc regions. These basins accumulated thick successions of volcanic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3897/zse.100.116350

Abstract: We describe a new species of Centrolene from the Subandean Cordillera of Kutukú in southeastern Ecuador. The new species differs from all other glassfrogs by the combination of the following characters: presence of processes of… read more here.
