Velocity structure beneath the southern Puna plateau: evidence for delamination
(American Geophysical Union, 2013-10)
The high elevation of the southern Puna plateau, the widespread melting of its crust, the gap in intermediate depth seismicity and the recent eruptions of ignimbrite complexes can be explained by delamination of the ...
