We made a detailed facies analysis of well exposed Eocene foredeep and wedge-top successions in the SE Austral Basin of eastern Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, contributing to a better understanding of its patterns of sand ...

In this study, we examine the external part of the Magallanes-Malvinas Fold and Thrust Belt in offshore areas, including a portion in Tierra del Fuego onshore, in southern South America. Our investigations focus on the ...

The upper ocean circulation near the western margin of the South Atlantic Ocean is dominated by the southward flow of the warm and salty Brazil Current and the northward flow of the cold and relatively fresh Malvinas ...

The Malvinas basin, emplaced offshore southern Patagonia, is an asymmetric extensional basin formed by NNW-striking faults. In this contribution we present a review and updated structural framework for the Malvinas basin, ...

Three year long current-meter arrays were deployed in the Malvinas Current at 418S below a satellite altimeter track at about 10 years intervals. Surface geostrophic velocities (SGV) derived from satel- lite altimetric ...

This work analyzes the geometry and geodynamic development of the offshore sector (between 62° W and 67° W) of the south Magallanes and Malvinas basins wedge-top and foredeep, and associated orogenic wedge. It is based on ...

[1] The velocity structure of the Malvinas Current is described based on the analysis of high-resolution hydrographic data and direct current observations. The data show that though the current width exceeds 150 km, the ...

The latest studies on the tectonic evolution of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands and their adjacent continental plateau further east are analyzed to assess a long controversy regarding the origin of these islands. Although ...

Direct velocity measurements of the Malvinas Current (MC) were carried out on multiple occupations of five transects across the flow using a Shipborne Acoustic Current Profiler (SADCP) on the R/V Akademik Sergey Vavilov ...
