Early Paleozoic accretionary orogens along the Western Gondwana margin
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-01)
Early Paleozoic accretionary orogens dominated the Western Gondwana margin and were characterized by nearly continuous subduction associated with crustal extension and back-arc basin development. The southwestern margin ...
A review on the tectonic evolution of the Paleozoic-Triassic basins from Patagonia: Record of protracted westward migration of the pre-Jurassic subduction zone
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-11)
The Paleozoic-Triassic Patagonian basins, at present comprising the Andean hinterland and structural basement of active basins, document a pre-Jurassic evolution associated with accretionary processes at the paleo-Pacific ...
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 ...
The westward lithospheric drift, its role on the subduction and transform zones surrounding Americas: Andean to cordilleran orogenic types cyclicity
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
We investigate the effect of the westerly rotation of the lithosphere on the active margins that surround the Americas and find good correlations between the inferred easterly-directed mantle counterflow and the main ...
New age constraints on the palaeoenvironmental evolution of the late Paleozoic back-arc basin along the western Gondwana margin of southern Peru
(ElsevierNL, 2018-03)
The tectonic evolution of the western Gondwana margin during Pangaea amalgation is recorded in variations in the Permo-Carboniferous back-arc basin sedimentation of Peru. This study provides the first radiometric age ...
