Evidence for slab rollback in westernmost Mediterranean from improved upper mantle imaging
Maximiliano Bezada,Eugene D. Humphreys,Douglas R. Toomey,Mimoun Harnafi,J.M. Dávila,Josep Gallart +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the deployment and data processing for Spanish stations was funded by Consolider-Ingenio 2010 project TOPO-IBERIA (CSD2006-00041) as well as ALERT-ES (CGL2010-19803-C03-02).
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar modulation of Little Ice Age climate in the tropical Andes
Pratigya J. Polissar,Mark B. Abbott,Alexander P. Wolfe,Maximiliano Bezada,Valentí Rull,Raymond S. Bradley +5 more
TL;DR: A 1,500-year reconstruction of climate history and glaciation in the Venezuelan Andes using lake sediments highlights the sensitivity of high-altitude tropical regions to relatively small changes in radiative forcing, implying even greater probable responses to future anthropogenic forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Receiver function study of the crustal structure of the southeastern Caribbean plate boundary and Venezuela
Fenglin Niu,Tammy Bravo,Gary L. Pavlis,Frank L. Vernon,Herbert Rendon,Maximiliano Bezada,Alan Levander +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the primary P-to-S conversion and crustal reverberations to estimate crustal thickness and average crustal VP/VS ratio over the southeastern Caribbean plate boundary with the receiver function technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subduction-driven recycling of continental margin lithosphere
Alan Levander,Maximiliano Bezada,Fenglin Niu,Eugene D. Humphreys,Imma Palomeras,S. Thurner,J. Masy,Michael Schmitz,Josep Gallart,Ramón Carbonell,Meghan S. Miller +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the bottom of the continental thermal boundary layer can be removed from adjacent continental margins, leading to the loss of continental lithosphere adjacent to a subduction zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abrupt Younger Dryas cooling in the northern tropics recorded in lake sediments from the Venezuelan Andes
Nathan D. Stansell,Mark B. Abbott,Valentí Rull,Donald T. Rodbell,Maximiliano Bezada,Encarnación Montoya +5 more
TL;DR: A radiocarbon dated sediment record from Laguna de Los Anteojos, a cirque lake in the Merida Andes of Venezuela, indicates that warmer and wetter atmospheric conditions occurred in the northern tropics at the onset of the Bolling (∼ 14,600 cal yr BP), and abruptly colder and drier conditions around the time of the Younger Dryas (YD) as mentioned in this paper.
