Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic imaging of the magmatic underpinnings beneath the Altiplano-Puna volcanic complex from the joint inversion of surface wave dispersion and receiver functions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented new 3D seismic images of the APVC crust based on a joint inversion of Rayleigh-wave dispersion from ambient seismic noise and P-wave receiver functions from broadband seismic stations recently deployed in the area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tectonic Evolution of the Central Andean Plateau and Implications for the Growth of Plateaus
Carmala N. Garzione,Nadine McQuarrie,Nicholas D. Perez,Nicholas D. Perez,Todd A. Ehlers,Susan L. Beck,Nandini Kar,Nandini Kar,Nathan W. Eichelberger,Alan D. Chapman,Kevin M. Ward,Mihai N. Ducea,Mihai N. Ducea,Richard O. Lease,Christopher J. Poulsen,Lara S. Wagner,Joel E. Saylor,George Zandt,Brian K. Horton +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review integrates results from recent studies of the modern lithospheric structure, geologic evolution, and surface uplift history of the Central Andean Plateau to evaluate the geodynamic processes involved in forming it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient noise tomography across the Central Andes
Kevin M. Ward,Ryan C. Porter,George Zandt,Susan L. Beck,Lara S. Wagner,Estela Minaya,Hernando Tavera +6 more
TL;DR: Ward et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a method for the detection of anomalous magnetic fields in the Earth's magnetic field using the Earth Magnetic Field Index (EMI) of the Earth magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magmatic history and crustal genesis of western South America: Constraints from U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes of detrital zircons in modern rivers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempted to reconstruct the growth and evolution of western South America through U-Pb geochronologic and Hf isotopic analyses of detrital zircons from 59 samples of sand mainly from modern rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results from the recently completed PLUTONS project are synthesized in this paper, which focused an interdisciplinary study on two regions of large-scale surface uplift that have been found to represent ongoing movement of magmatic fluids in the middle to upper crust.
