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

We examined the relationship between the mechanical strength of the lithosphere and the
distribution of seismicity within the overriding continental plate of the southern Central Andes …

Geothermal energy resources are necessary to meet the increasing energy requirements
worldwide and reduce the impact of climate change, particularly in developing countries …

New X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, and X-ray
energy dispersive spectrometry (EDX) microanalysis on clay minerals are presented for …

We present three‐dimensional (3D) models of the present‐day steady‐state conductive
thermal field and strength distribution in the lithosphere beneath the Central Andes. Our …

Most flat-slab subduction regions are marked by an absence of arc volcanism, which is
consistent with closure of the hot mantle wedge as the subducting plate flattens below the …

The surface heat flow of southern South America was examined based on an updated
database containing 1113 locations. Accordingly, this study presents the most accurate heat …

Abstract The Valle del Cura region, located in the High Central Andes, over the Pampean
flat-slab segment, exhibits several geothermal manifestations suggesting structural rather …

Flat subduction segments are generally related to cold lithospheric zones, which suggest
low Heat flow values and therefore a deeper Curie isotherm. In this study we perform a …

In an ocean-continent subduction zone, the assessment of the lithospheric thermal state is
essential to determine the controls of the deformation within the upper plate and the dip …
