Evolution of the Major Gercino Shear Zone in the Dom Feliciano Belt, South Brazil, and implications for the assembly of southwestern Gondwana
(Springer, 2019-03)
The Dom Feliciano Belt developed during the Brasiliano–Pan-African orogenic cycle due to the tectonic interaction between the Rio de la Plata, Congo and Kalahari cratons, along with the amalgamation of smaller continental ...
Size of the Plastic Zone Produced by Nanoscratching
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2018-03)
Nanoscratching of ductile materials creates plastic zones surrounding the scratch groove. We approximate the geometry of these zones by a semicylinder with its axis oriented along the scratch direction. The radius and the ...
Tectonic segmentation across Patagonia controlled by the subduction of oceanic fracture zones
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-12)
A set of fracture zones left by transform faults segmenting the active Chile Ridge that separates the Nazca and Antarctica Plates has been subducting beneath western Patagonia in the last 18 Myr. The subduction direction ...
Impact on area-level physical activity following the implementation of a fitness zone in Montevideo, Uruguay
Background: The aim of the study was to measure the level of physical activity (PA) of the users of an urban park before and after the installation of 2 fitness zones (FZs) and to assess the impact of that intervention on ...
Ra and Rn isotopes as natural tracers of submarine groundwater discharge in the patagonian coastal zone (Argentina): an initial assessment
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2018-02)
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is herein recognized as a significant pathway of material transport from land to the coastal SW Atlantic Ocean and thus, it can be a relevant factor affecting the marine biogeochemical ...
Deformation and geochronology of syntectonic granitoids emplaced in the Major Gercino Shear Zone, southeastern South America
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
The Major Gercino Shear Zone is one of the NE-SW lineaments that separate the Neoproterozoic Dom Feliciano Belt, of Brazil and Uruguay, into two different domains: a northwestern supracrustal domain from a southeastern ...
Actividad minera artesanal en la región Lima - [Boletín E 14]
(Instituto Geológico, Minero y Metalúrgico - INGEMMETPE, 2019-10)
[ENG] The study area is located in the Lima region and has an approximate area of 34 944 km2, covering 35% of the territory, a coastal area and a 65% mountain range. Artisanal mining in this region is one of the most ...
Predicting the temporal structure of the atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) for agriculture management in Mexico’s Coastal Zone
(2018-09-12)
The influence of global-scale modes of climate variability on Mexico’s coastal zone is investigated through the analysis of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) effect on the long-term (decadal) behavior of three ...
Mapping Potential Zones for Ecotourism Ecosystem Services as a Tool to Promote Landscape Resilience and Development in a Brazilian Municipality
(Mdpi, 2020-12-01)
In recent decades, with the increasing global need for sustainable development, ecotourism has emerged as one of the most efficient activities that can be used to reconcile economic development with environmental conservation. ...
Seismic evidence of the active regional tectonic faults and the Copahue volcano, at Caviahue Caldera, Argentina
(Springer, 2021-03-05)
Understanding interactions between tectonic faults and a nearby active volcano is often realized by combining seismic and field observations. A good example of such an interaction is the Caviahue caldera. It is located in ...
