Parametric 3D geological modeling facilitates the efficient updating of geological models. A
comprehensive review of existing geological modeling methods reveals that two critical …

Abstract The Stavelot-Venn Massif (SVM) is the major Cambrian-Ordovician inlier of the
Ardenne Allochthon (Southern Belgium). The SVM belongs to the Avalonian microcontinent …

Previous compilation of crustal structure in South America had large unsampled areas
including the thin crust in the Sub‐Andean lowlands, largely estimated by gravity data, and …

Abstract Nazca subduction beneath South America is one of our best modern examples of
long‐lived ocean‐continent subduction on the planet, serving as a foundation for our …

The Caribbean plate is an enclosed oceanic basin whose formation and evolution are
controversial. In the most commonly accepted model, the Caribbean plate is mainly …

We examine some aspects of the tectonic evolution of Precambrian cratonic roots beneath
South America based on lithospheric distribution of shear-wave velocities. We derive our …

This review paper aims to integrate geological, tectonic and metallogenetic data, including
new data, and propose a regional model for the gold (and base metal) mineralization in the …

A regional Pre-Silurian unconformity marks the erosive planar base of the Phanerozoic
Parnaíba Basin (PB), and indistinctly truncates key tectonic units for the understanding of the …

The formation of ore deposits has been extensively studied from a shallow crust perspective.
In contrast, the association of mineral systems with deep crustal structure of their host …

SUMMARY The Andean Subduction Zone is one of the longest continuous subduction
zones on Earth. The relative simplicity of the two-plate system has makes it an ideal natural …
