Thick, strong sediment subduction along south-central Chile anditsrole ingreat earthquakes
(Elsevier, 2020)
The south-central Chile margin experienced the largest and sixth largest earthquakes ever recorded - the 1960 Mw 9.5 Valdivia and 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule megathrust earthquakes, respectively. In early 2017, we conducted a seismic ...

Prediction of landslide occurrence in urban areas located on volcanic ash soils in Pereira, Colombia
(Springer Verlag, 2004-01-01)
As a result of the 25 January 1999 Armenia earthquake, the city of Pereira (400,000 inhabitants), located on a volcanic ash-covered alluvial fan in the western limit of the Central Cordillera (Colombia), suffered 250 slope ...
Gas origin linked to paleo BSR
(Nature, 2021)
The Central-South Chile margin is an excellent site to address the changes in the gas hydrate system since the last deglaciation associated with tectonic uplift and great earthquakes. However, the dynamic of the gas ...
Transient plate contraction between two simultaneous slab windows: Insights from Paleogene tectonics of the Patagonian Andes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-11)
Plate kinematic reconstructions show that the Farallon-Phoenix (Aluk) spreading center subducted under South America sometime between the Late Cretaceous and the Paleogene periods. Geological studies have supported a ...
Liquiñe‑Ofqui’s fast slipping intra‑volcanic arc crustal faulting above the subducted Chile Ridge
(Nature Research, 2021)
The southernmost portion of the Liquiñe-Ofqui fault zone (LOFZ) lies within the proposed slab window
which formed due to oblique subduction of the Chile Ridge in Patagonia. Mapping of paleo-surface
ruptures, offsets, and ...
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 ...
Predicted path for hotspot tracks off South America since Paleocene times: Tectonic implications of ridge-trench collision along the Andean margin
(Elsevier Inc., 2018)
Hotspots are generated by partial melting due to hot plumes rising within the Earth's mantle, and when tectonic plates move relative to the plume source, hotspot tracks form. Off South America, the oceanic Nazca Plate hosts ...
Material transfer and its influence on the formation of slope basins along the South Central Chilean convergent margin: Insights from scaled sandbox experiments
(ELSEVIER, 2011)
Material transfer along and across a subduction zone determines not only the morphology of an accretionary prism, but also the architecture and tectono-sedimentary development of their forearc basins. However, the nature ...
