  abstract = {{T}he along-strike morphology of the {S}outh {A}merican {A}ndes varies significantly, but it remains unclear if the timing and magnitude of rock exhumation are similarly varied. {W}e used low-temperature ({U}-{T}h)/{H}e thermochronology to constrain the exhumation history of the {E}astern {C}ordillera in the north-central {P}eruvian {A}ndes (7 degrees {S}-8.5 degrees {S}). {N}ine zircon ({U}-{T}h)/{H}e mean ages range from 28 +/- 4.5 {M}a to 281 +/- 60 {M}a, and seven apatite ({U}-{T}h)/{H}e mean ages yield tightly clustered late {M}iocene ages of 6.4 +/- 3.8 {M}a to 10.7 +/- 1.8 {M}a. {T}hese results document slow rock cooling followed by abrupt, accelerated cooling in the mid-late {M}iocene. {M}odel time-temperature histories show slow cooling throughout the late {P}aleozoic to early {M}iocene, followed by an increase in cooling initiating between 14 and 10 {M}a and continuing to the present. {T}his rock cooling signal is regionally synchronous along the strike of the range and occurs at a time of a shift to a more humid and erosive climate in the eastern {A}ndes. {W}e suggest that a mid-late {M}iocene climate shift, following or synchronous with topographic growth, was responsible for the acceleration of rock exhumation in the north-central {P}eruvian {A}ndes.},
