Vertical site velocities determined by geodetic GPS observations in the Lago Fagnano area, Tierra del Fuego main island, are interpreted with respect to their potential relation with the glacial-isostatic crustal respons...

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 ...

In an ocean-continent subduction zone, the assessment of the lithospheric thermal state is essential to determine the controls of the deformation within the upper plate and the dip angle of the subducting lithosphere. In...

The study of the pre-Mesozoic geological history of NE Mexico offers the opportunity to reconstruct the processes that occurred at the NW margin of Gondwana. The Huizachal–Peregrina Anticlinorium, which is located west...

For the first time, the eastern flank at Cordón Santa Elena, within the Valle Hermoso district, has been mapped and described in detail. Based on key field observations, petrographic, geochemical and geochronological re...

Continental crust exhibits areas of recurrent deformation and reactivation of faults that can be persistent for hundreds of millions of years. Associated with weak lithospheric zones, the characterization of long-lived d...

The Tastil batholith (Eastern Cordillera, NW Argentina) holds relevant keys for interpreting the tectonic evolution of the Central Andes basement since it has always been interpreted as the subcrop of the Cambrian and Lo...

The topographic growth of mountain ranges at convergent margins results from the complex interaction between the motion of lithospheric plates, crustal shortening, rock uplift and exhumation. Constraints on the timing an...

This study examines the neotectonic deformation and development of the Tromen massif, a Quaternary retroarc volcanic field located in the western section of the Malargüe fold and thrust belt in the Southern Central Ande...

The Malta Horst is a NW–SE-trending, 30 km wide structural high situated on the southern Hyblean-Malta Plateau, which is an African continental indenter in collision with Eurasia. Sediments consist of a shallow marine ...

El terreno Cuyania situado en la zona andina de trasarco entre 29°S y 34°S se compone de un sistema de corrimientos y retrocorrimientos del cinturón plegado de Precordillera y más hacia el este por bloques de basamen...

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...

The tectonically active broken foreland of NW Argentina is a recent analog of the eastern margin of the Puna plateau during Mio-Pliocene times and likely of other broken forelands worldwide. In order to evaluate active t...

This study presents the chemical and isotopic compositions of hydrothermal gases from fumaroles discharging around Copahue volcano (Argentina). Gas samples, including those from two fumaroles at the active summit crater,...

The analyses of the main parameters controlling the present Chile-type and Marianas-type tectonic settings developed along the eastern Pacific region show four different tectonic regimes: (1) a nearly neutral regime in t...

The analysis of the pre-Andean history of the Central Andes shows a complex tectonic evolution. The basement of the Andean continental margin was formed by the accretion of Precambrian blocks during the formation of Rodi...

A review of the geologic history of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen suggests that at least 1400 km of north-south shortening has been absorbed by the orogen since the onset of the Indo-Asian collision at about 70 Ma. Signif...

Abstract Active faults release part of the elastic strain energy stored in the crust via aseismic slip, either through slow slip events (SSEs) or steady slowly creep. However, spatial and temporal interactions between th...

Las especies de la familia Aeglidae habitan ambientes dulceacuícolas (ríos, lagos, arroyos, lagunas, cavernas) siendo su área de distribución la comprendida por Bolivia, Paraguay, Chile, Brasil, Uruguay y Argentina. ...
