This book intends to constitute a useful tool to access to data and a general discussion about the mechanisms that have been associated with the development of the Southern Andes. It is mainly conceived for Earth Science professionals working in academia and industry, as well as PhD and Ms students and interested readers in general. This book is structured through a total number of 10 chapters, where the initial two are focused on general aspects such as crustal density structure and main source areas of the sedimentary basins that characterize the Southern Andes through time, while the other eight analyze the structure and evolution of particular mountain sectors ordered from north to south. The book contains maps, schemes and cross sections that constitute up-to-date proposals that use previous and new datasets. Different sources are cited at the end of each chapter that can be used to expand particular points discussed in the book.
