Building the Andean Crust at ∼35°S: Arc Geochemistry Reveals Cretaceous Thinning and Rapid Neogene Thickening

Zircon and whole-rock crustal thickness proxies align with field evidence for extensional and contractional deformation Modest Late Cretaceous crustal thinning coincided with normal faulting and ...

Hello Geosky 🧪⚒️, and thanks for the introduction @watershedlab.bsky.social! I'm a new Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary. I use sedimentary basins as archives of mountain building: how shortening, crustal thickness, and surface elevation evolve as an orogen rises and falls.

Hi 🧪⚒️ Geosky - please give a warm welcome to @chance-ronemus.bsky.social, brand new professor of sedimentary geology at @ucalgary.bsky.social. He’s looking for grad students, so you know what to do…
