The nature of the interplay between tectonics and volcanism is a major question in
continental margin tectonics. The Southern Andes volcanic zone (SVZ), located at the …

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

The Andean volcanic arc includes over 200 potentially active Quaternary volcanoes, and at
least 12 giant caldera/ignimbrite systems, occurring in four separate segments referred to as …

We forward modeled the Bouguer anomaly in a region encompassing the Pacific Ocean
(85° W) and the Andean margin (60° W) between northern Peru (5° S) and Patagonia (45° …

We used a wavelet formulation of the classical spectral isostatic analysis to invert satellite-
derived gravity and topography/bathymetry for elastic thickness (Te) over South America and …

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 mid-Holocene eruptive products of Nevado de Longaví volcano (36· 2° S, Chile) are the
only reported occurrence of adakitic volcanic rocks in the Quaternary Andean Southern …

The Andean fold-and-thrust belts of west-central Argentina (33° S and 36° S), above the
normal subduction segment, present important along-strike variations in mean topographic …

Abstract The North Patagonian fold-thrust belt (41°–44° S) is characterized by a low
topography, reduced crustal thickness and a broad lateral development determined by a …

Abstract Although geogenic Arsenic (As) contamination is well-recognized in northern Chile,
it is not restricted to this part of the country, as the geological conditions favoring As release …
