The Andes make up the largest orogenic system developed by subduction of oceanic crust
along a continental margin. Subduction began soon after the breakup of Rodinia in Late …

Laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analyses of 29
samples from the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia reveal the origin of northern Andean …

SUMMARY Northwestern South America is a plate boundary zone where the Nazca,
Caribbean and South American plates interact to produce a wide area of active continental …

We present a publicly available database of active structures for the northern Andes based
on the literature, our own field mapping, interpretation of digital elevation models …

Miocene strike‐slip tectonics was responsible for creating and closing short‐lived (ca. 6 Ma)
passages and the emergence of isolated topography in the Northern Andes. These …

A continuous, long–lived sedimentary record contains important evidence bearing on the
geologic evolution of the Eastern Cordillera in the northern Andes of Colombia. Today, this …

This study provides a kinematic model of the southern termination of the Bucaramanga Fault
(BF), in the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia, through the integration of geological information …

We explore the structural and geomorphological evidence for recent tectonic activity in the
Serranía de San Lucas (San Lucas Range, SLR), the northern segment of the Central …

The Central Cordillera and Eastern Cordillera of the northern Andes form the topographic
flanks of the north-trending Magdalena Valley Basin. Constraining the growth of these …

Subduction forearcs are subject to seismic hazard from upper plate faults that are often
invisible to instrumental monitoring networks. Identifying active faults in forearcs therefore …
