Geodynamics of the northern Andes: subductions and intracontinental deformation (Columbia)
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning a reevaluation of the geodynamics of Columbia from seismological data which was acquired between 1993 and 1996. Oceanic arcs, faults and continental wedges are discussed.

Geodynamics of flat subduction: seismicity and tomographic constraints from the Andean margin
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the geodynamic impact of flat subduction and the creation of the Peru flat slab. This 1500-kilometer flat slab is studied through the use of travel time tomography.
