The Overlooked Role of Moist Northerlies as a Source of Summer Rainfall in the Hyperarid Atacama Desert

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 129, Issue 21, 16 November 2024.
Abstract In the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth, the persistent absence of water preserves the record of environmental change, making it an invaluable proxy for studying the evolution of life on Earth. Due to the scarcity of in situ measurements and difficulties in satellite remote sensing, information on precipitation characteristics

Creep on the Argentine Precordillera Décollement Following the 2015 Illapel, Chile, Earthquake: Implications for Andean Seismotectonics

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 19, 16 October 2024.
Abstract The Central and South‐Central Andes form a “two‐sided” mountain belt bounded by distinct zones of convergence in the forearc and backarc flanks. Previous geodetic interseismic deformation studies found that the forearc to backarc velocity field is better explained when elastic models allow reverse aseismic slip on the Andes eastern‐flank ...

Late Ordovician (Sandbian–Hirnantian) marine gastropods from the Argentine Precordillera: their biogeographical significance in a middle to high latitudinal setting [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Gastropods from the Upper Ordovician of the Argentine Precordillera received less attention than other coeval marine invertebrates in this region. The present contribution supplies accurate taxonomic information recovering 10 gastropod genera which are ...

Lower–Middle Ordovician brachiopods from the Eastern Cordillera of Peru: evidence of active faunal dispersal across Rheic and Iapetus oceans

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract New Floian and early middle Darriwilian brachiopod assemblages of the San José Formation of the Eastern Cordillera of Peru are presented. A new genus and species, Apurimella santiagoi, and two new species, Phragmorthis henrylunae and Nocturnellia ashaninka, are described.

Glacial and volcanic landforms in the upper catchment of Claro River, Central Chile (35.5°S): A Late Quaternary geomorphological case study

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 2291-2307, 15 June 2024.
The upper catchment of the Claro river in the central Chilean Andes is described in terms of volcanic and glacial landforms seeking to establish a relative chronology associated to events during the late Pleistocene and Holocene, which is summarized in seven phases and presented as a conceptual model.

Kinematic Evolution of the Santa Bárbara System in the Foreland of the Central Andes of Northwestern Argentina (26°S)

Tectonics, Volume 43, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract 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 System in the Andean broken foreland of northwestern Argentina is characterized by a temporally and spatially disparate deformation style. Although there is no well‐defined

Implications of Flat‐Slab Subduction on Hydration, Slab Seismicity, and Arc Volcanism in the Pampean Region of Chile and Argentina

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract The Pampean flat slab in central Chile and Argentina is characterized by the inland migration and subsequent cessation of arc volcanism since the mid‐Miocene. Slab flattening also affects the distribution and number of intermediate‐depth earthquakes and the evolution of the overlying continental thermal structure.
