This SpecialIssue gathers a series of contributions derived from presentations at the 19ºCongreso Geológico Argentino held in Córdoba city in 2-6 June 2014.Specificsubjects cover a wide variety of topics and regions of the Argentine andChilean Andes, varying from sedimentological analyses and U/Pb dating of detritalzircons in different rocks aimed to determine source areas for different timesand regions along the southern Andes; satellite gravity data for monitoring earthquakesat the subduction zone to understand their complex rupture structure; fissiontrack data from the Andes to the foreland region; use of seismic tomographiesand conventional seismic reflection data for analyzing crustal structure; topaleomagnetic data and structural and morphological analyses.
