Large-magnitude late Holocene seismic activity in the Pereira-Armenia region, Colombia
(GEOLOGICAL SOC AMER INC, 2011-01-01)
The Pereira-Armenia region, located west of the Colombian Central Cordillera, is crosscut by the Romeral fault system, which consists of an active north-south- trending, left-lateral, strike-slip fault system with a secondary ...
Submarine earthquake rupture, active faulting and volcanism along the major Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone and implications for seismic hazard assessment in the Patagonian Andes
(2013)
The Liquiñe-Ofqui fault zone (LOFZ) in the Patagonian Andes is an active major transpressional intra-arc
fault system along which Quaternary faulting and volcanism develop. Subaerial and submarine geomorphologic and
structural ...
Holocene compression in the Acequión valley (Andes Precordillera, San Juan province, Argentina): Geomorphic, tectonic, and paleoseismic evidence
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-04)
The Matagusanos-Maradona-Acequión Valley sits within the Andes Precordillera fold-thrust belt of western Argentina. It is an elongated topographic depression bounded by the roughly N-S trending Precordillera Central and ...
Hidden Holocene Slip Along the Coastal El Yolki Fault in Central Chile and Its Possible Link With Megathrust Earthquakes
(2019)
Megathrust earthquakes are commonly accompanied by increased upper-plate seismicity and occasionally triggered fault slip. In Chile, crustal faults slipped during and after the 2010 Maule (M8.8) earthquake. We studied the ...
Late Quaternary evolution of the La Cantera Fault System (Central Precordillera, Argentina): A morphotectonic and paleoseismic analysis
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
The La Cantera Fault System (LCFS) is the most active Quaternary structure in the Central Precordillera of SanJuan, in central-western Argentina; the system extends for 47 km along the intermountain valley that separatesthe ...
Fluvial piracies in the NE sector of the Sierra de Aconquija (Tafí valley, NW Argentina)
(Universidad de La Rioja. Departamento de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales, 2020-07)
The Sierra de Aconquija is a recently uplifted mountain chain in NW Argentina. The NE side of the sierra is drained by the Muñoz and Los Alisos rivers – whose base level is the Las Carreras Depression that is located to ...
Tectonic and climatic controls on the late Pleistocene to Holocene evolution of Paleolake Ullum-Zonda in the Precordillera of the central Andes, Argentina
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017-09)
The Ullum-Zonda tectonic depression located in the central Andes Precordillera records several lacustrine episodes from frequent natural damming of the San Juan River during the late Quaternary. We analyzed stratigraphic, ...
Paleoenvironmental Evolution of Continental Carbonates in West-Central Brazil
(Acad Brasileira De Ciencias, 2017)
This paper presents a sedimentological and stratigraphical study of Quaternary (Middle to Late Pleistocene/Holocene) continental carbonates outcrops inside Pantanal Basin and its surroundings, especially in Serra da ...
Active tectonics west of New Zealand's Alpine Fault: South Westland Fault Zone activity shows Australian Plate instability
(Amer Geophysical Union, 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 ...
