Models of crustal thickness for South America from seismic refraction, receiver functions and surface wave tomography
An extensive compilation of crustal thicknesses is used to develop crustal models in
continental South America. We consider point crustal thicknesses from seismic refraction …

The behavior of the lithosphere on seismic to geologic timescales
The strength of the lithosphere and how it responds to loading and unloading are
fundamental problems with wide implications. Flexure studies suggest that the elastic …

Andean tectonics and mantle dynamics as a pervasive influence on Amazonian ecosystem
The Amazonian landscape evolution is the result of the combined effect of Andean
tectonism, climate and the Earth's interior dynamics. To reconstruct the landscape evolution …

Drainage reversal of the Amazon River due to the coupling of surface and lithospheric processes
V Sacek - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2014 - Elsevier
The uplift of central and northern Andes occurred concomitantly with an important
reorganization of the drainage pattern in the northern South America. In Early Miocene, the …

Reappraisal of the relative importance of dynamic topography and Andean orogeny on Amazon landscape evolution
TC Bicudo, V Sacek, RP de Almeida - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020 - Elsevier
The Cenozoic landscape of northern South America evolved under the influence of different
geodynamic processes, culminating in the formation of the largest drainage basin on Earth …

The Amazon paleoenvironment resulted from geodynamic, climate, and sea-level interactions
Abstract The northern South American landscape evolved in response to complex
interactions between geodynamic processes, climate, and sea-level oscillations, culminating …

Open-source modular solutions for flexural isostasy: gFlex v1. 0
AD Wickert - Geoscientific Model Development, 2016 - gmd.copernicus.org
Isostasy is one of the oldest and most widely applied concepts in the geosciences, but the
geoscientific community lacks a coherent, easy-to-use tool to simulate flexure of a realistic …

Shallow anatomy of the San Ramón Fault (Chile) constrained by geophysical methods: implications for its role in the Andean deformation
Abstract The San Ramón Fault (SRF) runs for 30 km along the western flank of the Andes in
front of the city of Santiago, Chile (33.5° S). Geological studies have highlighted the SRF …
