Surface uplift of the Altiplano
This work began as part of my post-doctoral year at the University of Rochester. Our ambition was to combine all of the available quantitative paleoaltitude and geomorphic relief change estimates available for the central Andes and attempt to recreate topography of the range at 10 Ma. Using this as a paleodatum we are attempting to explore the geodynamic processes which result in the latest stage plateau growth in the Altiplano.
