The geometry of the Chilean continental wedge: Tectonic segmentation of subduction processes off Chile
(Elsevier, 2015)
Based on high-resolution bathymetry and geophysical observations, the precise continental wedge geometry
along the Chileanmargin is analyzed. The data showcomplex patterns in continentalwedge geometry that challenge
the ...
Density-depth model of the continental wedge at the maximum slip segment of the Maule Mw8.8 megathrust earthquake
(Elsevier, 2015)
Complexities in the rupture process during a megathrust earthquake can be attributed to the combined effect of inhomogeneous distribution of stress accumulated during the interseismic period and inho-mogeneous rheology of ...
Seismic structure and tectonics of the continental wedge overlying the source region of the Iquique Mw8.1 2014 earthquake
(Elsevier, 2020)
On April 1, 2014, a large earthquake (Mw = 8.1) ruptured the central part of a historic seismic gap in northern Chile. In order to study the relationship between the co-seismic rupture characteristics and the crustal ...
The nature of the subduction wedge in an erosive margin: Insights from the analysis of aftershocks of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake beneath the Chilean Coastal Range
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
© 2019 Elsevier B.V.Aftershocks of the 16 September 2015 M8.3 Illapel earthquake in central Chile were recorded for a period of one year by the Chile-Illapel Aftershock Experiment (CHILLAX) seismic network. An initial ...
Detrital-zircon geochronology and provenance of the Ocloyic synorogenic clastic wedge, and Ordovician accretion of the Argentine Precordillera terrane
(Geological Society of America, 2015-10)
The Precordillera terrane in northwestern Argentina is interpreted to be anexotic (Laurentian) continental fragment that was accreted to western Gondwanaduring the Ordovician. One prominent manifestation of the subductionand ...
Anatomy of a mixed marine/non-marine lowstand wedge in a ramp setting. The record of a Barremian/Aptian complex relative sea-level fall in Central Neuquén Basin, Argentina
(Geological Society Publications House, 2005)
During the Cretaceous, western Argentina was occupied by the Neuque´n Basin, a back-arc–foreland basin that was open through the proto-Andes to the Pacific Ocean in the west. The Neuque´n Basin contains a thick succession ...
