The Altiplano-Puna of the Central Andes is one of the                      foremost continental plateaus of the world, and it makes an ideal               laboratory for studying the relationship between topography and                 orogenesis.  Prior studies have produced an extensive data base                 on brittle fault orientations and slip directions that show an                  apparent regional counter-clockwise rotation of shortening during               the last 10 Ma and a change from a thrust regime to a strike-slip               regime.  This project will continue regional studies northward to               assess the possible causes of these changes and to develop                      further faulting analysis methods.
