Broken foreland basins are caused by crustal-scale contractional basement structures that
compartmentalize (or break) a contiguous retroarc or collisional foreland basin into smaller …

Convergent plate boundaries show sharp variations in orogenic width and extent of
intraplate deformation. Analysis of late Cenozoic contractile deformation along the Andean …

In seismically-active regions, map** active and potentially-active faults is the first step to
assess seismic hazards and site selection for paleoseismic studies that will estimate …

Unconformities in foreland basins may be generated by tectonic processes that operate in
the basin, the adjacent fold–thrust belt or the broader convergent margin. Foreland basin …

Landslides are typical landforming processes of high, glaciated mountains and represent
hazards to communities living in these landscapes. Despite that, few detailed and reliable …

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 …

The Andes orogenic belt is one of the most tectonically active zones located between the
convergent margins of the South American plate and the Pacific plate. From the dissected …

The link between major basement anisotropies and basin evolution is crucial for
understanding the role of tectonic inheritance on continental margins. However, it is still a …

Numerous inselbergs rise above the regional erosional surface in semiarid northeastern
Brazil. The inselbergs are underlain by the Quixadá Pluton and cut by cm-thick granite dike …

Compared to the thin‐skinned Subandean foreland fold‐and‐thrust belt of northern
Argentina and Bolivia, the tectonically active morphotectonic province of the Santa Bárbara …
