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 ...
Upper plate deformation and seismic barrier in front of Nazca subduction zone: The Chololo Fault System and active tectonics along the Coastal Cordillera, southern Peru
(Elsevier, 2008)
The South America plate boundary is one of the most active subduction zone. The recent Mw = 8.4 Arequipa 2001 earthquake ruptured the subduction plane toward the south over 400 km and stopped abruptly on the Ilo Peninsula. ...
How Fast Can We Reliably Estimate the Magnitude of Subduction Earthquakes?
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
Fast and reliable characterization of earthquakes can provide vital information to the population, even reducing the effects of strong shaking produced by them. In this study, we explore the minimum time required to estimate ...
Pacific subduction coeval with the Karoo mantle plume: the Early Jurasssic Subcordilleran belt of northwestern Patagonia

Tectono-metamorphic evolution of subduction channel serpentinites from South-Central Chile
(Elsevier, 2019)
This work provides the first comprehensive petrological and multi-scale structural investigation of a suite of ultramafic bodies and enclosing metasediments from the Late Paleozoic accretionary prism of South-Central Chile. ...
Magmatic Evolution of the Southernmost Andes and its Relation with Subduction Processes
(Springer, 2015)
The magmatic arc in the SouthernmostAndes is represented by the Fuegian Batholith and satellite plutons, plus minorvolcanic and volca-niclastic sequences. Magmatism was active from the LateJurassic to the Miocene in response ...
Active Andean volcanism: its geologic and tectonic setting

The nature of the subduction wedge in an erosive margin: Insights from the analysis of aftershocks of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake beneath the Chilean Coastal Range
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
© 2019 Elsevier B.V.Aftershocks of the 16 September 2015 M8.3 Illapel earthquake in central Chile were recorded for a period of one year by the Chile-Illapel Aftershock Experiment (CHILLAX) seismic network. An initial ...
