Transient plate contraction between two simultaneous slab windows: Insights from Paleogene tectonics of the Patagonian Andes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-11)
Plate kinematic reconstructions show that the Farallon-Phoenix (Aluk) spreading center subducted under South America sometime between the Late Cretaceous and the Paleogene periods. Geological studies have supported a ...
Oblique subduction and strain partitioning: Tectonic role of margin-parallel and margin-transverse structures at the Southern Volcanic Zone of the Andes
(2015)
Convergent margins undergoing oblique subduction develop margin-parallel structural domains, which accommodate the long-term crustal deformation within the overriding plate. Although the Andes are no exception, ...
Neogene and Quaternary tectonics of the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina: Active intraplate deformation inboard of flat-slab subduction
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-06-28)
The ranges of the Eastern Sierras Pampeanas are located >600 km east of the Andean Cordillera in central Argentina and have been interpreted to be a response to shortening related to flat-slab subduction of the Nazca ...

Active tectonics west of New Zealand ́s Alpine Fault: South Westland Fault Zone activity shows Australian Plate instability.
(2016)
The 300 km long South Westland Fault Zone (SWFZ) is within the footwall of the Central Alpine Fault (<20 km away) and has 3500m of dip-slip displacement, but it has been unknown if the fault is active. Here the first ...
