Testing the influence of far-field topographic forcing on subduction initiation at a passive margin
(Amsterdam, 2014-04-10)
Despite favourable gravitational instability and ridge-push, elastic and frictional forces prevent subduction initiation fromarising spontaneously at passive margins. Here,we argue that forces arising fromlarge continental ...
Thermochronological constraints on the Cambrian to recent geological evolution of the Argentina passive continental margin
(Elsevier Science, 2017-10)
Passive continental margins are geo-archives that store information from the interplay of endogenous and exogenous forces related to continental rifting, post-breakup history, and climate changes. The recent South Atlantic ...
Contrasting stress fields on correlating margins of the South Atlantic
(2015-01-01)
The passiveness of passive continental margins across the globe is currently under debate since several studies have shown that these margins may experience a variety of stress states and undergo significant vertical ...
Crustal deformation in the Rio de la Plata estuarine (South Atlantic passive margin) and the associated seismicity as a consequence of an isostatic readjustment
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
The Río de la Plata estuarine has been the epicenter of the 30 November 2018 intra-crustal earthquake with a magnitude and focal depth of 3.7 and 19 km (±6 km), respectively, which alerted the Buenos Aires city population. ...

The Gondwana-South America Iapetus margin evolution as recorded by Lower Paleozoic units of western Precordillera, Argentina: The Bonilla Complex, Uspallata
(Instituto Superior de Correlación Geológica, 2013-06)
Terrane, accreted to Gondwana South America during Ordovician times. The Bonilla Complex, which represents the southern tip of the Precordillera, is constituted of metasedimentary rocks of internal and external platform ...
Evolution of the Southwestern Angolan Margin: episodic burial and exhumation is more realistic than long-term denudation
(2018-01-01)
There are two main points of view regarding how continental margins evolve. The first one argues that the present-day margins have been developed by long-term denudation since a major exhumation episode, probably driven ...
Evolution of the South Atlantic passive continental margin in southern Brazil derived from zircon and apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He and fission-track data
(2013-09-24)
The area between São Paulo and Porto Alegre in southeastern Brazil plays a key area to understand and quantify the evolution of the South Atlantic passive continental margin (SAPCM) in Brazil. In this contribution, we ...
