Decoding the state of stress and fluid pathways along the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone by Nicolás Pérez-Estay, Javiera Ruz-Ginouves, Pamela Pérez-Flores, Gerd Sielfeld, Tomás Roquer, José Cembrano

“…Here, the encrypted messages are the state of stress, fluid pathways, and volcano tectonic processes occurring in volcanoes of the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ). To decode these messages, we use earthquake focal mechanisms, fault slip data, and a Monte Carlo simulation that predicts potential pathways for magmatic and hydrothermal fluids. …”

Lithospheric Flexure Controls on Geomorphology, Hydrology, and River Chemistry in the Andean Foreland Basin by Marisa Repasch, Joel S. Scheingross, Kristen L. Cook, Dirk Sachse, Sophia Dosch, Oscar Orfeo, Niels Hovius

“…Here we examine the effect of lithospheric flexure on the geomorphology, hydrology, and river water chemistry of the Rio Bermejo fluvial system in the east Andean foreland basin of northern Argentina. Results show that proximal to the mountain front, foredeep basin subsidence causes sedimentation along a braided channel belt that is superelevated relative to the surrounding flood basin. …”

Identifying positive selection candidate loci for high-altitude adaptation in Andean populations by Bigham Abigail W, Mao Xianyun, Mei Rui, Brutsaert Tom, Wilson Megan J, Julian Colleen, Parra Esteban J, Akey Joshua M, Moore Lorna G, Shriver Mark D

“…Our results indicate that the genes of this biochemical pathway as a group show no evidence of having evolved in response to hypoxia in Andeans. Results from particular <it>HIF</it>-targeted genes, however, suggest that genes in this pathway could play a role in Andean adaptation to high altitude, even if the pathway as a whole does not show higher relative rates of evolution. …”
