This book will provide the first comprehensive overview of a complete subduction orogen, the Andes (considered to represent the type subduction belt on Earth), integrating the results from a wide variety of methods. For example, our results provide the so far densest and most highly resolved geophysical image of an active subduction orogen. Dense geodetic data and a range of geological observations complement these results. These all contribute towards a process-oriented understanding of the mechanisms driving subduction orogeny in its various manifestations. We plan to provide the results which were accumulated during 12 years of integrated research, by covering all fields of Earth Sciences in the various contributions to the volume, in a range of formats including a CD-Rom with maps, geological sections, geophysical results and a data depository. These may be complemented by an existing web site that will be further developed in close contact with the planned book.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Aus den Rezensionen: "… Das vorliegende Werk enthält alle Informationen, die ein Geowissenschaftler … erwarten kann. … Die Ausführung der Arbeit ist von ansprechender Qualität. Nichts ist überflüssig … Die Einzelartikel sind schlüssig, die vorgestellten Arbeiten bauen aufeinander auf und runden das Werk über die zentralen und südlichen Anden als typisches Beispiel für ein Orogengebiet mit aktiver Subduktionszone ab. Das Buch … gehört … zweifellos in jede geowissenschaftliche Bibliothek und Universitätsbibliothek sowie in die Hände jedes Vulkanologen, Geologen, Geochemikers und Geophysikers." (C. Schmitt-Riegraf, in: Zentralblatt für Geologie und Paläontologie Teil II, 2007, Issue 5-6, S. 743 ff.)
