Distribution of landslides along the Andean active orogenic front (Argentinean Precordillera 31–33° S)
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
As one of the main environmental effects of earthquakes, the distribution of landslides could reflect regional neotectonic activity. To that end, we carried out an inventory of landslides along the Precordillera range ...
Distribution of landslides along the Andean active orogenic front (Argentinean Precordillera 31–33° S)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-04)
As one of the main environmental effects of earthquakes, the distribution of landslides could reflect regional neotectonic activity. To that end, we carried out an inventory of landslides along the Precordillera range ...
From Crustal Thickening to Orogen‐Parallel Escape: The 120‐Myr‐Long HT‐LP Evolution Recorded by Titanite in the Paleozoic Famatinian Backarc, NW Argentina
(American Geophysical Union, 2020-09)
Exposed sections of accretionary orogens allow reconstruction of their tectonic evolution. Most commonly, orogens are characterized by two‐dimensional shortening perpendicular to the orogenic front. We describe the midcrustal ...
Distribution of active faulting along orogenic wedges: Minimum-work models and natural analogue
(Elsevier, 2014-09)
Numerical 2-D models based on the principle of minimum work were used to examine the space-time distribution of active faulting during the evolution of orogenic wedges. A series of models focused on thin-skinned thrusting ...
Huge slope collapses flashing the andean active orogenic front (argentinean precordillera 31-33°s)
(Springer, 2017)
The study area is located along the Andean active orogenic front comprising the mostseismically active region of Argentina. Main Quaternary deformation is concentrated in thisWestern central part of the country associated ...
Holocene shortening rates of an Andean-front thrust, Southern Precordillera, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
A significant part of the Quaternary shortening between the Chilean trench and the relative stable interior of the South American plate at the Pampean flat slab (27–33°S), has been accommodated at the eastern foothills of ...
Thrust-fold belt kinematics and orogenic growth in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina: implications of backthrusting for critical Coulomb wedge development
(Universidad de Oviedo, 2010-02)
Analysis of balanced cross-sections and of the chronostratigraphy of the deformed foreland basin successions allows to solve the structural kinematics of the eastern Fuegian thrust-fold belt. Based on the Coulomb wedge ...
Early foreland deformation of the Fuegian Andes (Argentina): Constraints from the strain analysis of Upper Cretaceous-Danian sedimentary rocks
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
This contribution addresses new structural data from Upper Cretaceous-Danian sedimentary rocks of the Fuegian Andes orogenic front in Argentina. The structures studied, called D0 , were formed during the early foreland ...
Quaternary shortening at the orogenic front of the Central Andes of Argentina: the Las Peñas Thrust System
(Lyell Collection, 2014-06)
The NNW-trending Las Peñas Thrust System is one of the key structures along the Andean orogenic front between 32°15′ and 32°40′S in the Southern Precordillera of Argentina. This east-verging structure crops out over a ...
The Neocomian of Chachahuén (Mendoza, Argentina): evidence of a broken foreland associated with the Payenia flat-slab
(Geological Society of London, 2014-02)
Isolated marine sedimentary Lower Cretaceous deposits crop out in the foreland of the Neuquén Basin, west-central Argentina. They are the result of an anomalous uplift of the Sierra de Chachahuén in the far foreland region. ...
