Constraining Andean Propagation of Exhumation at the Limit of the Eastern Cordillera, NW Argentina, Using Low‐Temperature Thermochronology in a Structural Context
(Tectonics, 2022-08-16)Within the Central Andes of NW Argentina, the spatiotemporal distribution and style of deformation is strongly influenced by pre‐Cenozoic heterogeneities, mostly related to the Salta rift extension in the Cretaceous. At ... -
Controls of the Foreland Deformation Pattern in the Orogen‐Foreland Shortening System: Constraints From High‐Resolution Geodynamic Models
(Tectonics, 2022-02-17)Controls on the deformation pattern (shortening mode and tectonic style) of orogenic forelands during lithospheric shortening remain poorly understood. Here, we use high‐resolution 2D thermomechanical models to demonstrate ... -
Distribution of Temperature and Strength in the Central Andean Lithosphere and Its Relationship to Seismicity and Active Deformation
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021-05-11)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 primary objective was to investigate the influence ... -
Hindered Trench Migration Due To Slab Steepening Controls the Formation of the Central Andes
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022-12-08)The formation of the Central Andes dates back to ∼50 Ma, but its most pronounced episode, including the growth of the Altiplano‐Puna Plateau and pulsatile tectonic shortening phases, occurred within the last 25 Ma. The ... -
Lithium and Sr isotopic composition of salar deposits in the Central Andes across space and time: the Salar de Pozuelos, Argentina
(Mineralium Deposita, 2021-07-07)The Central Andes of South America host the largest known lithium resources in a confined area, but the primary lithium sources of the salar deposits and the mobilisation process of lithium are still a matter of speculation. ... -
Surface velocity fields of active rock glaciers and ice‐debris complexes in the Central Andes of Argentina
(Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2020-12-30)Rock glaciers and transitional ice‐debris complexes predominate the Central Andean landform assemblage, yet regional studies on their state of activity and their kinematics remain sparse. Here we utilize the national glacier ... -
Using a Paleosurface to Constrain Low-Temperature Thermochronological Data: Tectonic Evolution of the Cuevas Range, Central Andes
(Tectonics, 2019)Dispersion of low-temperature thermochronologic data from nine samples collected on a deformed paleosurface preserved on the Cuevas range (Central Andes) can be exploited to unravel complex thermal histories. The nine ...
