Widening of the Andes: an interplay between subduction dynamics and crustal wedge tectonics
Joseph Martinod, Mélanie Gérault, Laurent Husson +1
Shortening of the continental lithosphere is generally accommodated by the growth of crustal wedges building above megathrusts in the mantle lithosphere. We show that the locus of…

Horizontal subduction zones, convergence velocity and the building of the Andes
Joseph Martinod, Laurent Husson, Pierrick Roperch +2
We discuss the relationships between Andean shortening, plate velocities at the trench, and slab geometry beneath South America. Although some correlation exists between the conver…
