Abstract
Subduction erosion shapes at least half of the world’s convergent margins. However, its rates, and modes as well as spatial and temporal variation are poorly understood. Based on a compilation of published and newly derived estimates of subduction erosion along the Chilean part of the Andean margin, we discuss possible loci and modes of subduction erosion and also address the potential of subducting topographic highs for accelerating subduction erosion.
