The Ecuadorian arc is composed of an unusually high number of volcanoes, organized as along-arc alignments and across-arc clusters, in a relatively small area. Although several …
The deformation history of the Eastern Cordillera (EC) and Sub-Andean Zone (SAZ) of southern Peru is critical for understanding the roles that tectonics and climate played in the …
The cross-equatorial southwesterly winds from the eastern equatorial Pacific direct moisture toward the Pacific coast of northwestern South America, where subsequent orographic lifting …

The Ryukyu subduction zone is typical of the subduction of an oceanic ridge (seamount or plateau) and back-arc rifting. How the upper plate responds to the combined effect of …
We investigate the evolution of the onshore Manabí forearc basin in Ecuador, which has developed on accreted oceanic terranes. We use 2D seismic profiles to identify 10 seismic …
Abstract The tectonically active South American margin is characterized by the accumulation of deformation contributing to uplift of the Andean forearc at millennial time scales. However …
Westerly winds from the eastern equatorial Pacific direct moisture into the Western Cordillera of the northern tropical Andes, where subsequent orographic lifting creates the …
Les modes de glissement sur l'interface de subduction varient du glissement asismique stable à la rupture sismique rapide en passant par des glissements transitoires lents dont la …
The Andes reflect Cenozoic deformation and uplift along the South American margin in the context of regional shortening associated with the interaction between the subducting Nazca …
