I would like to attend the CTSP course bec … I would like to attend the CTSP course because I am strongly interested in the meetings' main subject. As an Earth Sciences PhD candidate, carrying out research at the Southern Central Andean western slope, I have strongly understood and considered the key aspect of erosive processes upon structural development of orogens (e.g., [1]). </br></br>I am currently developing analogue models applied to the Andean range, regarding basin inversion and doubly-vergent crustal wedges, thoroughly analized by means of numerical methods (MatPIV tool). My intention is to complement the aforementioned approach with a palinspastically restored structural cross-section at the western slope of the Southern Central Andes at c. 34°S. My ultimate goal is to combine the analog modeling with structural thermochronology, establishing relationships between mass balance, wedge geometry and rock uplift rates, towards a comprehensive and robust understanding of the Southern Central Andes as a crustal-scale doubly vergent wedge. Thus, further learning regarding how deep tectonic processes and surficial factors are combined, and how their interplay greatly modifies mountain building is at the core of my research, as well as for the development of my career as a geologist.</br> </br>I believe I can contribute greatly to the courses' development. I have the basic skills regarding the course scope; I have a strong basis in structural geology and experience with numerical programming software (Matlab). I am familiar with the literature regarding deformation-erosion interplay, and I intend to go in depth into this subject during my doctoral research and further studies (plans for a postdoc at the US). Last, but not least, I am a sociable person who is eager to develop team-work and learn from other Earth scientists.</br></br>Sincerely,</br>Sebastian</br></br>1. Whipple, K., Meade, B. 2004.
