Vulkanotektonik in transpressiven magmatischen Bögen
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Field-based, remote sensing and experimental work complemented by a reassessment of published thermochronological and GPS data highlight the success of the bilateral DFG-MINCYT/CONICET project. Notably, transpression affected the entire width of the Southern Andes and was accomplished by distributed deformation. The location of Copahue volcanoe appears to be genetically unrelated to crustal faults but may have formed as a consequence of local dilation due to perturbation of principal stresses. Contrary to previous studies, Caviahue caldera unlikely originated as a tectonic pull-apart basin, and NW-striking faults may well have formed early in Andean orogenesis. The project sets the stage for a larger collaborative research effort geared towards understanding the role of crustal flow perturbations in volcano-tectonically active areas.
