Supporting Information for Boundary effects of orogenic plateaus in the evolution of the stress field: The southern Puna study case (26°30´–27°30´S)

Abstract

The supplementary material presented herein furnishes detailed information on the methods and parameters employed in obtaining the results delineated in the main article. Specifically, the ensuing information provides an elaborate description of the principles applied in stress inversion (Text S1), conveyed through a table detailing the parameters of stress tensors (Table S1, uploaded as separate file), which specifies the fault-slip data stations, from which the stress tensor was obtained, a figure illustrating calculations of average horizontal stress directions (Figure S1.1), several figures showing field evidence of cross-cutting relationship between the structures used to obtain the stress tensor (Figure S1.2, S1.3, S1.4 and S1.5), and field-measured fault data (Data Set S1, uploaded as separate file). The kinematic parameters used at each stage of the forward modeling process are described in Text S2, in conjunction with the modeling stages depicted in Figure S2. Lastly, Text S3 outlines the methodology and equipment utilized in acquiring U-Pb ages. Data set S3 (uploaded as separate file) encapsulates the analytical results of LA-ICP-MS U-Pb analysis.
