Andean Tectonics addresses the geologic evolution of the Andes Mountains, the prime global example of subduction-related mountain building. The Andes Mountains form one of the most extensive orogenic belts on Earth, spanning approximately an 8,000-km distance along the western edge of South America, from 10 N to 55 S. The tectonic history of the Andes involves a rich record of diverse geological processes, including crustal deformation, magmatism, sedimentary basin evolution, and climatic interactions. This book addresses the range of Andean tectonic processes and their temporal and spatial variations. An improved understanding of these processes is fundamental not only to the Andes but also to other major orogenic systems associated with subduction of the oceanic lithosphere.

Andean Tectonics is a critical resource for researchers interested in the causes and consequences of Andean-type orogenesis and the long-term evolution of fold-thrust belts, magmatic arcs, and forearc and foreland basins.

Folguera, Andrés: - Andrés Folguera has studied different aspects of the magmatism from the Cretaceous to the Cenozoic and its sublithospheric controls through time.

Horton, Brian K.: - Brian Horton is the Alexander Deussen Professor of Energy Resources at the University of Texas at Austin and has a joint appointment with the Department of Geological Sciences and Institute for Geophysics in the Jackson School of Geosciences. His research addresses the tectonics of sedimentary basins, evolution of orogenic systems, sediment provenance, and nonmarine depositional processes.
