Journal ArticleDOI
Palynological signal of the Younger Dryas in the tropical Venezuelan Andes
TL;DR: In this paper, an abrupt shift occurred in the pollen assemblage, manifested by a decline of Podocarpus, Polylepis and Huperzia, combined with an increase in Poaceae and Asteraceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and tectonic implications of a tear in the South American plate at the southern end of the Lesser Antilles
Stephen Clark,Stephen Clark,M. Sobiesiak,Colin A. Zelt,Maria Beatrice Magnani,Meghan S. Miller,Maximiliano Bezada,Alan Levander +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present four types of seismic data to resolve the ongoing lithospheric detachment: local seismicity, receiver functions, wide-angle seismic velocity inversion, and a regional, balanced cross section constrained by petroleum industry data.
Journal ArticleDOI
15,000-yr pollen record of vegetation change in the high altitude tropical Andes at Laguna Verde Alta, Venezuela
Valentí Rull,Mark B. Abbott,Pratigya J. Polissar,Alexander P. Wolfe,Maximiliano Bezada,Raymond S. Bradley +5 more
TL;DR: Pollen analysis of sediments from a high-altitude (4215 m) Neotropical (9-N) Andean lake was conducted in order to reconstruct local and regional vegetation dynamics since deglaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Representing anisotropic subduction zones with isotropic velocity models: A characterization of the problem and some steps on a possible path forward
TL;DR: In this article, a series of synthetic tomography tests based on a geodynamic simulation of subduction and rollback were conducted to explore the potential effects of erroneous assumption on tomographic images and explore an alternative approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Quaternary deglacial history of the Mérida Andes, Venezuela
Nathan D. Stansell,Mark B. Abbott,Pratigya J. Polissar,Alexander P. Wolfe,Maximiliano Bezada,Valentí Rull +5 more
TL;DR: Radiocarbon-dated sediment cores from seven lakes and two bogs spanning the Cordillera de Merida in the Venezuelan Andes were used to identify and date the regional history of late Pleistocene and Holocene glacial activity as mentioned in this paper.
