This talk will showcase how we can leverage zircon geochronology and geochemistry to track the evolution of continental magmatism in South America over the last 500 million years. I integrate this long-lived magmatic record with other geologic constraints to resolve competing geodynamic models that have been proposed to drive mountain building along subduction margins.
