Active hazardous slow faults drive drainage evolution in the Atacama Desert

This is a preprint of manuscript soon to be sumbitted to a peer-review journal. The Atacama Desert of the Central Andean forearc is the driest non-polar region on Earth, where extremely low erosion rates preserve geomorphic markers over Myr timescales. Between 19°S and 20°S, subt...
