Abstract The chemical weathering of Earth's silicate rocks regulates the global climate. However, the exact role of continental weathering with orogenic building and island arc weathering with arc‐continent collisions ...

Emphasizing the concentric relationship between the tectonics of Earth and the tectonics of architecture, this study argues that design ideas generated through this interaction have the potential to produce spatial const...

The Malargüe fold and thrust belt is developed in the Argentinian Andes between 34° and 37° S, through the tectonic inversion of Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic depocenters of the Neuquén Basin, with an uplift hist...

Akçal Au-Ag mineralization is located in one of the most important metallogenic provinces in Tethys Orogenic Belt, Biga Peninsula. In the study area, widespread argillic alteration is observed and mined in previous year...

Unravelling the spatiotemporal evolution of the Cenozoic Andean (Altiplano-Puna) plateau has been one of the most intriguing problems of South American geology. Despite a number of investigations, the early deformation a...

The Sierra Norte-Ambargasta batholith is one of the largest plutonic expressions of the Pampean orogeny in western Argentina. A thorough petrographic, geochemical, isotopic (Sr and Nd) and geochronological (UePb SHRIMP) ...

In the last years, a substantial change has occurred concerning previous concepts accepted for theJurassic tectonics in the area comprehended between the Patagonian and Central Andes. The previoushypothesis conceived a r...

We provide a thorough review of the literature on peraluminous magmatism of Late Neoproterozoic and Early Palaeozoic (mostly Late Cambrian-Middle Ordovician) age cropping out in many places around the world (SW South Afr...

Abstract The increasing frequency of natural hazards, intensified by climate change, poses substantial challenges to sustainable development worldwide. Northern Pakistan, particularly the Hunza district, is highly suscep...

La Formación Chenque (Mioceno Inferior-Medio) en la cuenca del Golfo San Jorge representa los depósitos de un evento transgresivo atlántico con evidencias mesoscópicas de tectónica extensional. Se presentan los resu...

his study focused on the geochemical and isotopic features of thermal fluids discharged from five zones located in the high altitude Puna plateau (Jujuy Province between S 22°20′–23°20′ and W 66°–67°), i.e. G...

En un trabajo anterior se sugirió una posible correlación entre polos geomagnéticos virtuales (PGV’s) jurásicos tempranos intermedios registrados en una sección en la garganta de Breggia (Suiza) y la ubicación es...

Marine sedimentary rocks of the lower Miocene Monte León Formation of southeastern Patagonia (Austral Basin), Argentina are important geological archives for better understanding regional tectonics, paleoenvironments, o...

The Andean internal zone records deformation, uplift and erosion that serve as proxies of variations on mountain building dynamics. Hence, the study of this region would give keys to understand the factors controlling th...

Mesozoic-Cenozoic interaction between South America and Antarctic plates has been a major driverof kinematics in the Southernmost Andes. Late Jurassic - Early Cretaceous opening of the Rocas Verdesoceanic basin was the p...

Abstract Marine magnetic anomalies are pivotal to our understanding of plate tectonics, geomagnetic fields, and deep Earth dynamics. However, the question of how Ti‐rich titanomagnetites, the primary remanence carriers...

The intraplate fault-block mountains and intermontane deposits of the Gastre Basin, which are recorded more than 550 km east of the Andean trench in central Patagonia, Argentina, are analysed. The Gastre Basin is one of ...

La Basanita El Retamo, localizada en el sector norte de la Sierra de Valle Fértil, corresponde a una nueva evidencia del vulcanismo alcalino de edad triásica para esta región. Es interpretada como el remanente de una ...

Evaluating the role of tectonics and climate as possible triggering mechanisms of landscape reconfigurations is essential for paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic reconstructions. In this study an exceptional receptive c...

The sector of the Andes studied in this paper (33°30′-33°45′S) presents a key region to study the relationship between tectonic setting and deformation history in a transitional zone between flat (north of 33°S) a...

Abstract Active tectonics and coastal deformation predispose continental margins to submarine gravitational instability and canyon head retreat. Here we investigate the drivers of this susceptibility along the Italian co...

Subduction zones represent the interface between Earth’s interior (crust and mantle) and exterior (atmosphere and oceans), where carbon and other volatile elements are actively cycled between Earth reservoirs by plate ...

The Paleozoic evolution of Patagonia was the focus of controversies between its allochthonous or autochthonous origin. The arrival of plate tectonics supported new allochthonous alternatives and from an initial fixist re...
