The most remarkable feature of the Central Andes is the Altiplano–Puna plateau. This plateau is characterized by 3.5 km average elevation, approximately 70 km crustal thickness and very high heat flow. The upper mantle ...

Gravimetric methods applied for Moho recovery in areas with sparse and irregular distribution of seismic data often assume only a constant crustal density. Results of latest studies, however, indicate that corrections for ...

Using numerical models that couple surface processes, flexural isostasy, faulting and the thermal effects of rifting, we show that fault-bounded escarpments created at rift flanks by mechanical unloading and flexural rebound ...

Se propone una estructura térmica para la zona de subducción del Caribe colombiano, área Sinú-San Jacinto, en la esquina Noroccidental de Suramérica, bajo las hipótesis de subducción plana para la placa Caribe bajo la placa ...

A refined understanding of the lithospheric configuration may greatly improve the accuracy of geohazard assessments. However, it is challenging to reach such comprehension where data coverage is limited, such as the oceanic ...

Los Llanos Orientales de Colombia corresponden a un sistema de cuenca antepaís que registró el inicio del pulso tectónico más reciente a partir del Mioceno (Campos, 2011) influenciado en gran medida por la colisión y ...

The growth of accretionary orogens, such as the northern Andes, involves both subduction-related tectonics and the collision of exotic terranes, including oceanic plateaus and island arcs. These contrasting tectonic regimes ...
