Structural analyses in the area of Fagnano and Deseado lakes show different deformational events that took place in the southernmost South America. The compressional structures represent at least two deformational episodes ...

Two ERT (Electrical Resistivity Tomography) profiles were conducted at the eastern head of Lago Fagnano within the main deformation zone of the Magallanes-Fagnano Transform fault system (MFS) which represents the onland ...

En este trabajo se presentan y analizan las numerosas evidencias morfotectónicas identificadas a lo largo de la traza del Sistema de Fallas Magallanes-Fagnano, tales como escarpas de falla que alternan su cara libre al ...

The geodynamics of the study area includes subduction, orogen dynamics, and major transcurrent tectonics at a complex transform margin in the southern ocean. We present a synthesis of the fault system associated to major ...

Research for evaluation of geologic hazards involving earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in southern Argentina seems to have historically received little attention. Nevertheless, the relatively small work done indicates ...

The Tierra del Fuego (TDF) main island is divided by a major transform boundary between the South America and Scotia tectonic plates. Using a block model, we infer slip rates, locking depths and inclinations of active ...

The Magallanes-Fagnano fault (at similar to 51-56 degrees S) is a continental NW-SE transform fault zone that marks the boundary between the South American Plate (north) and the Scotia Plate (South). In 1949, two crustal ...

A complete Bouguer gravity map of the central-eastern part of the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, and a general bathymetric chart of the Lago Fagnano have been realized, on the basis of a series of field geophysical surveys ...

Forests situated above active fault zones may record hillslope evolution, thus holding information about recent seismic events. Lenga trees (Nothofagus pumilio) extend across the Magallanes-Fagnano fault system (MFFS), the ...
