Abstract Acquisition of nearly complete coverage of Thematic Mapper data for the central Andes between about 15°S to 34°S has stimulated a comprehensive and unprecedented study of the interaction of tectonics and climate in a young and actively developing major continental mountain belt. The paper briefly reviews the current state of our synoptic mapping of key physiographic, tectonic and climatic indicators of the dynamics of the mountain/climate system.
