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

Small-scale volcanic systems are the most widespread type of volcanism on Earth and occur
in all of the main tectonic settings. Most commonly, these systems erupt basaltic magmas …

Porphyry deposits are natural suppliers of most copper and significant gold to our society.
Whereas the Cu-richest (Au-poor) porphyries are related to Andean-type subduction and …

Continental arc magmas supply the ore-forming element budget of most globally important
porphyry-type ore deposits. However, the processes enabling certain arc segments to …

Over the past few decades several studies have reported that pyrite hosts appreciable
amounts of trace elements which commonly occur forming complex zoning patterns within a …

Volcanic eruptions are common, with more than 50 volcanic eruptions in the United States
alone in the past 31 years. These eruptions can have devastating economic and social …

Abstract Subduction under South America has been active for the past 550 my but large
porphyry copper deposits were essentially emplaced during the Paleocene (60–50 Ma) in …

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 …

In the present work, we applied the use of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-a quadcopter-
and the Aerial Structure from Motion digital photogrammetry image processing technique …

This study addresses the interplay between strain/stress fields and paleo-fluid migration in
the Southern Andean Volcanic Zone (SVZ). The SVZ coexists with the margin-parallel …
