Flexural uplift and magmatic underplating anomaly on the Argentine continental margin: profile at 43.5°S
(Springer, 2021-05)
Magmatic underplating can be defined as the addition of mafic magma to the lower crust and uppermost mantle around the Moho. This phenomenon plays an important role in continental margins and other compressional and ...
Simplified models for cross-section stress demands on C-section purlins in uplift
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2010)
The objective of this paper is to provide and verify simplified models that predict the longitudinal stresses that develop in C-section purlins in uplift. The paper begins with the simple case of flexural stress: where the ...
The Late Cretaceous Orogenic System: Early Inversion of the Neuquén Basin and Associated Synorogenic Deposits (35º–38º S)
(Springer, 2020)
The first regional tectonic uplift was registered in the Neuquén Basin atca. 100 Ma, resulting in the inception of the first foreland basin of the Andes at these latitudes. The infill of this foreland basin is represented ...
Biostratigraphic evidence for dramatic Holocene uplift of Robinson Crusoe Island, Juan Fernández Ridge, SE Pacific Ocean
(EGU Journals, 2015)
Hotspot oceanic islands typically experience subsidence due to several processes related to migration of the oceanic plate away from the mantle plume and surface flexural loading. However, many other processes can interrupt ...
Numerical simulation of drainage reversal of the Amazon River during Andean orogeny
(European Geosciences UnionVienna, 2014)
The uplift of Central and Northern Andes occurred concomitantly with an important reorganization of the drainage
pattern in Northern South America. During the Early Miocene, the fluvial systems that flowed from the ...

The influence of rifting on escarpment migration on high elevation passive continental margins
(AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNIONWASHINGTON, 2012)
Using numerical models that couple surface processes, flexural isostasy, faulting and the thermal effects of rifting, we show that fault-bounded escarpments created at rift flanks by mechanical unloading and flexural rebound ...
