Subducting plates around the globe display a large variability in terms of slab geometry,
including regions where smooth and little variation in subduction parameters is observed …

We discuss the relationships between Andean shortening, plate velocities at the trench, and
slab geometry beneath South America. Although some correlation exists between the …

Abstract The Chilean Andes, as a characteristic tectonic and geomorphological region, is a
perfect location to unravel the geologic nature of seismic hazards. The Chilean segment of …

A new finite element code for the solution of the Stokes and heat transport equations is
presented. It has purposely been designed to address geological flow problems in two and …

Our study compares the seismic properties between the flat and normal subduction regions
in central Chile, to better understand the links between the slab geometry, surface …

Back‐arc basin evolution is driven by processes active at the main subduction zone typically
assuming the transition from an extensional back‐arc, during the retreat of a mature slab, to …

We assess the role of inherited structures on the Meso‐Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the
main Andean Cordillera in central Chile (33° 30′ S‐34° S). Based on extensive field …

Flat-slab subduction has affected parts of North America, South America, and Asia over the
past 250 my In these areas, reconstructions show that the subducting plate became …

The aim of this paper is to explore the link between the metamorphic record of a
Palaeoproterozoic orogeny and its thermo-mechanical evolution, in order to discuss the …

Abstract The Southern Andes margin hosts active and fossil volcanic, geothermal, and
mineralized systems documenting intense geofluid migration through the crust. Fluid flow is …
