Landforms related to the Ruiz Volcano, the northernmost active volcano in South America, are both of volcanic and glacial origins. A brief historical account includes several eruptions and culminates with the catastrophic ...

Despite the wide diversity of landforms, there are only a few geomorphological maps of the Chilean Central Andes. In this study, we present a detailed geomorphological map on a 1:50.000 scale for the Diguillín Valley (Ñuble ...

The aim of this research was to analyze the landforms around Pueyrredón Lake (NW Santa Cruz in Argentina) to contribute to the understanding of the paleoenvironmental evolution of Patagonia during the Late Pleistocene–Early ...

Arid environments are dynamic systems due, in part, to the action of hydrological processes. However, studies on the relationship between the abiotic factors and the properties of arid vegetation communities of Argentina ...

A detailed geomorphological map is presented for a portion of a poorly investigatedmountainous region of the Dry Frontal Andes and Western Pre-Andes of San Juan provincearound 30S latitude. This map shows the presence and ...

The Planalto das Araucária in Rio Grande do Sul is the stage for the development of a series of geomorphological processes that result in the formation of an expressive number of Closed Depressions and Headwaters Drainage ...

The present landscape of the Península Valdés is the result of a complex interrelation between climatic (aeolian deposition, windblown processes, glacial and interglacial cycles, pluvial and fluvial processes), tectonic, ...

We describe the Pleistocene evolution of the landscape in the Laguna Potrok Aike area in southern Patagonia, Argentina, based on a geomorphological survey. Basaltic eruptions generated tablelands and scoria cones between ...
