Abstract: Abstract The European Alps show major along-strike variations in the partitioning of crustal shortening between the upper and the lower plates, either explained by lateral variation in temperature and rheology, or by along-strike changes in… read more here.

Abstract: Reliable crustal shortening estimates for the central Andes (South America) are a critical component in validating models of Cordilleran processes. In southern Bolivia, insight into crustal shortening and the kinematic development of the Andean thrust… read more here.
