Coupled tectonic evolution of Andean orogeny and global climate
(Elsevier, 2015)
The largest tectonic relief breaking the Earth's surface (13 km vertically) is at the subduction margin of the Andes, which generates routinely megathrust earthquakes (Mw > 8.5) and drives the paradigmatic Andean orogen. ...
Foreland uplift during flat subduction: insights from the Peruvian Andes and Fitzcarrald Arch
(Elsevier, 2018-04-22)
Foreland deformation has long been associated with flat-slab subduction, but the precise mechanism linking these two processes remains unclear. One example of foreland deformation corresponding in space and time to flat ...
Tectonic controls on the building of the North Patagonian fold-thrust belt (~43°S)
(Elsevier, 2019)
In active continental margins, mountain building processes have been classically referred to as Andeantype orogenesis (e.g., Uyeda and Kanamori, 1979) wherever the coupling between an oceanic plate subductedbeneath a ...
Tectonic Processes along the South America Coastline Derived from Quaternary Marine Terraces
(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2016-07-22)
South America is overriding the Nazca, Antarctic, and Cocos plates, and at the same time is moving along the Caribbean and Scotia plates. Quaternary sea-level highstands are ideal benchmarks to estimate tectonic uplifts ...
Paleogene magmatism of the Maracaibo Block and its tectonic significance
(Springer Verlag, 2019-01-01)
One of the main northern South American geological conundrums has been to establish the tectonic relationship between Caribbean and South American plates during Mesozoic and Cenozoic times. Based on the petrogenetic ...

(Springer Verlag, 2019-01-01)
One of the main northern South American geological conundrums has been to establish the tectonic relationship between Caribbean and South American plates during Mesozoic and Cenozoic times. Based on the petrogenetic ...

Transpressional tectonics and strain partitioning during oblique collision between three plates in the Precambrian of southeast Brazil
(1998-12-01)
This paper is part of the special publication Continental transpressional and transtensional tectonics (eds R.E. Holdsworth, R.A. Strachan and J.F. Dewey). Two orogenic belts have been recognized in south- east Brazil, ...
Late Cenozoic brittle deformation in the Southern Patagonian Andes: Record of plate coupling/decoupling during variable subduction?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-08)
The Andes of southern Patagonia experienced a Miocene shift towards faster and higher angle subduction followed by the approach and collision of the Chile oceanic ridge. We present a kinematic study characterizing palaeostress ...
