1. The Andes of South America with particular focus on the central Andean fold-thrust belt (FTB) and Andean Plateau (AP). Boxes and labels outline the specific study locations for chapters (ch.) 2-5. Elev = elevation. (A) Topography of the Andes from the GTOPO30 1 km dataset. (B) Topography of the Andean Plateau region from the SRTM 90 m dataset. Extent of the plateau is defined by the 3 km contour (solid irregular black line) after Isacks [1988]. Location is in part A.

Quantifying the timing, magnitude, and rates of deformation and erosion across the central Andean fold-thrust belt is a prerequisite for understanding the history of Andean Plateau (AP) evolution. This work integrates new low-temperature thermochronology data with structural, topographic, and sedimentologic observations to constrain the Tertiary ex...
