As the archetype of mountain building in subduction zones, the Central Andes has
constituted an excellent example for investigating mountain-building processes for decades …

Abstract The heterogeneous South American geology has coined a wide variety of
neotectonic settings where crustal seismogenic sources do occur. This fact has led to …

Landslides are downslope mass movements, which implies the combination of natural
complex processes and sometimes affect anthropic resources. Many researchers …

The Pampean flat slab segment of the Central Andes in Argentina is a broad, active
deformation zone subject to both plate boundary-related and intraplate deformation. To the …

Alluvial fans of the western piedmont of the Western Argentine Precordillera developed
during the Early-Middle Pleistocene are excellently preserved markers of Quaternary-active …

At the latitude of 32–33° S, the orogenic front of the eastern flank of the Andes is located in
the Southern Precordillera, where two major thrusts concentrate Quaternary deformation at …

Excavated trenches at two sites across the Marquesado–La Rinconada fault system along
the eastern Precordilleran front south of San Juan, Argentina, reveal the earthquake history …

Abstract The Bolivian Amazon foreland basin is controlled by i) the sediment input from the
Andes and the topographic load; ii) the basinal uplift in the forebulge; and iii) the uplifting …

Several major (up to MW 7.5) earthquakes over the past 320 years have shaken the thick‐
skinned Sierras Pampeanas region of Argentina, despite exhibiting much lower GPS …

Understanding deformation associated with active thrust wedges is essential to evaluate
seismic hazards. In this study, we investigate the spatial distribution, timing, and rates of …
