Orogen-scale transpression accounts for GPS velocities and kinematic partitioning in the Southern Andes
Upper crustal transpression in the Southern Andes is mainly accommodated by widespread deformation on oblique-slip reverse and thrust faults, according to a comparison of scaled analogue models with the observed GPS velocity field and fault patterns.
