Range‐Parallel Extension of the Andes in the 2020 Mw 5.7 Humahuaca Earthquake
Abstract Normal‐faulting earthquakes in mountain ranges provide important constraints on the dynamics of mountain building. To date, well‐documented examples of range‐parallel extension come primarily from the Tibetan Plateau, limiting our ability to test different models for its cause.

Unrest at Domuyo Volcano, Argentina, detected by geophysical and geodetic data and morphometric analysis [PDF]
New volcanic unrest has been detected in the Domuyo Volcanic Center (DVC), to the east of the Andes Southern Volcanic Zone in Argentina. To better understand this activity, we investigated new seismic monitoring data, gravimetric and magnetic campaign ...

Can Non‐Euclidean Distances Improve Spatial Interpolation of Precipitation in Mountainous Regions?
The presented non‐Euclidean distances aim to better represent spatial separation in mountainous regions. Three non‐Euclidean distance metrics are evaluated. An interpolation method combining a linear precipitation‐elevation profile with residual interpolation is tested.

High-Up: A Remote Reservoir of Microbial Extremophiles in Central Andean Wetlands [PDF]
The Central Andes region displays unexplored ecosystems of shallow lakes and salt flats at mean altitudes of 3700 m. Being isolated and hostile, these so-called “High-Altitude Andean Lakes” (HAAL) are pristine and have been exposed to little human ...

Endemic human fasciolosis in the Bolivian Altiplano
SUMMARYFasciolosis, caused by trematodes of the genusFasciola, is an emerging disease of humans. One of the highest levels of human fasciolosis hepatica is found amongst the indigenous Aymaran people of the Northern Bolivian Altiplano. A meta-analysis of epidemiological surveys from 38 communities in the region demonstrates that fasciolosis has been ...

Body temperatures of modern and extinct vertebrates from ^(13)C-^(18)O bond abundances in bioapatite [PDF]
The stable isotope compositions of biologically precipitated apatite in bone, teeth, and scales are widely used to obtain information on the diet, behavior, and physiology of extinct organisms and to reconstruct past climate.

Plateau‐style accumulation of deformation: Southern Altiplano
Employing surface mapping of syntectonic sediments, interpretation of industry reflection‐seismic profiles, gravity data, and isotopic age dating, we reconstruct the tectonic evolution of the southern Altiplano (∼20–22°S) between the cordilleras defining its margins.
