Summary: Provides a comprehensive overview of a complete subduction orogen, the Andes, considered to represent the "type" subduction belt on Earth. Integrating the results from a variety of methods, this book provides a geophysical image of an active subduction orogen complimented by detailed geodetic data and a range of geological observations.
