The growing interest in quantification of vertical ground motion stems from the need to
understand in detail how the Earth's crust behaves, for both scientific and social reasons …

Many coasts feature sequences of Quaternary and Neogene shorelines that are shaped by
a combination of sea-level oscillations and tectonics. We compiled a global synthesis of sea …

Geodiversity is the variety of earth materials, forms and processes that constitute and shape
the Earth planet. Therefore, geodiversity includes essential for develo** nature-based …

We present lithospheric‐scale analog models, investigating how the absolute plates' motion
and subduction of buoyant oceanic plateaus can affect both the kinematics and the …

The basement of the Western Cordillera of Ecuador consists of a fragment of oceanic
plateau crust (Pallatanga) accreted to the continental margin during the Late Cretaceous …

This article provides background information about Ecuador's general volcanic setting, as an
introduction to the numerous articles in this Special Issue of the Journal dealing with the …

Abstract In the Northern Andes of Ecuador, a broad Quaternary volcanic arc with significant
across-arc geochemical changes sits upon continental crust consisting of accreted oceanic …

Luminescence dating techniques have been applied to a range of different types of coastal
and marine deposits, involving a variety of depositional processes and environments, as a …

During his journey on the Beagle, Darwin observed the uniformity in the elevation of coastal
Eastern Patagonia along more than 2000km. More than one century later, the sequences of …

Previous studies of the Ecuadorian arc (1° N–2° S) have revealed across‐arc geochemical
trends that are consistent with a decrease in mantle melting and slab dehydration away from …
