An integration of diverse strain markers into a palinspastic reconstruction of the northern
Andes provides a first-order quantitative approximation to the response of a complex margin …

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 …

The convergence between the Nazca and South America tectonic plates generates a
seismically active backarc region near 31° S. Earthquake locations define the subhorizontal …

Abstract Deformation affecting continental South America during Quaternary is related to the
Neogene geodynamic processes. These structures are mainly controlled by anisotropies …

Abstract The Sierras Pampeanas in central and north-western Argentina constitute a distinct
morphotectonic feature between 27° S and 33° S. The last stage of uplift and deformation in …

Trench excavations across the El Molino fault in the southeastern Pampean Ranges of
central-western Argentina have revealed a deformation zone composed of opposite-verging …

We introduce a method for the detailed interpretation of K–Ar illite fine-fraction ages of fault
gouges from non-sedimentary host rocks. Ages are cross-evaluated with several …

This paper presents new thermochronological data and reviews a set of recently published
data for the Sierras Pampeanas in central and northwestern Argentina, which constitutes a …

The role of the plate boundary in a continental collisional setting is investigated by
lithospheric-scale analogue models. Key variables in this study are the degree of coupling at …
