Landslides are downslope mass movements, which implies the combination of natural complex processes and sometimes affect anthropic resources. Many researchers inventoried landslides in the Argentinian Andean Precordillera ...

Piggyback basins are one of the most important sediment storage systems for foredeep basins within foreland basin systems, so understanding the dynamics of sediment accumulation and allocyclic changes is essential. Three ...

The Andean foothills found on the outskirts of Santiago are mainly private property. The management of this area has been an issue of conflict between residents and developers. Using the example of the municipality of La ...

A significant part of the Quaternary shortening between the Chilean trench and the relative stable interior of the South American plate at the Pampean flat slab (27–33°S), has been accommodated at the eastern foothills of ...

In this study we aim at refining our understanding of the floristic connectivity of the loma- and precordillera floras of southern Peru and northern Chile and the parameters determining vegetation cover in this region. We ...

As one of the main environmental effects of earthquakes, the distribution of landslides could reflect regional neotectonic activity. To that end, we carried out an inventory of landslides along the Precordillera range ...

In this study, we analyze 100 crustal Precordilleran earthquakes recorded in 2008 and 2009 by 52 broadbandseismic stations from the SIEMBRA and ESP, two temporary experiments deployed in the Pampeanflat slabregion, between ...

The Ordovician System is superbly represented in the Precordillera of western Argentina, at the Andean foothills. During the Middle Ordovician, an important paleogeographical rearrangement of depocenters and source areas ...

The city of San Juan, in the Central-Western region of Argentina, has been the target of very destructive superficial earthquakes, some of which have not been associated to a clear structural source up to this date. The ...
