The Central Patagonia is characterized by prominent continental deposits that belong to the Cretaceous Chubut Group Basin, whose tectonic setting remains controversial. It has been interpreted as a foreland basin, an ...

In the last decades an important amount of studies have dealt with the Patagonian orogen. However, an holistic approach on the evolution of this sector has not been addressed yet. A review of recent advances in different ...

The Patagonian Andes represents a unique natural laboratory to study surface deformation in relation to deep slab dynamics. In the sector comprised between latitudes 41°30′ and 43°S, new apatite (U-Th)/He ages indicate a ...

The distribution and timing of the deformation for the North Patagonian broken foreland is nowadays suggested by expansion and retraction of the orogenic activity during the middle to late Miocene Andean contractional ...

The syn-orogenic Miocene deposits of the Patagonian Foreland System were the focus of numerous works in the latest years, due to their central role in the comprehension of the tectono-stratigraphy and tectonic evolution ...

The Northern Patagonian Andes have been constructed through multiple mechanisms that range from tectonic inversion of extensional structures of Early to Middle Jurassic age in the Main Andes to Oligocene in the Precordilleran ...

Contraction in intraplate areas is still poorly understood relative to similar deformation at plate margins. In order to contribute to its comprehension, we study the Patagonian broken foreland (PBF) in South America whose ...

The interaction of tectonics and climate is considered the main determining factor in the development of different depositional systems (from aeolian to alluvial to lacustrine environments) in intermontane basins. The role ...
