It is well recognized that active arc volcanism at nearly all subduction zones requires
temperatures greater than 1200° C in the subarc mantle, despite the underthrusting cool …

Abstract In southern Mexico, the Sierra Madre del Sur (SMS) preserves the record of a long-
lived magmatic arc that vanished diachronically during Paleogene-early Miocene time …

La extraordinaria diversidad magmática de la Faja Volcánica Transmexicana está
controlada (directa o indirectamente) por dos placas oceánicas independientes cuyos …

Details of the late Oligocene to Middle Miocene uplift and tectonic erosion episodes of the
southwestern continental margin of Mexico can be inferred using Altot geobarometry of …

Analysis of the Bouguer gravity anomalies for central Mexico, between 18° and 21° N and
96° and 106° W, is used to document the regional crustal structure beneath the active …

High-frequency seismic records from the Polynesian Seismic Network are used to
investigate in detail the processes of conversion of acoustic (T-wave) energy from and to …

It has been proposed that the seismogenic zone of subduction thrust faults is primarily
controlled by temperature or rock composition changes. We have developed numerical …

In this study we investigated lateral variation of Lg wave propagation in southern Mexico
from recordings of 92 crustal earthquakes along 591 travel paths. The efficiency of Lg …

Los avances recientes en el conocimiento de la estructura y la estratigrafía cenozoicas del
sur de México revelan una evolución caracterizada por eventos de deformación orogénica …

Mexico has a complex geological history that is typified by the distinctive terranes that are
found in the south-central region. Crustal thickness variations often correlate with geological …
