Geological and Tectonic Studies in Latin America

This cluster of papers focuses on the geodynamic processes, tectonic evolution, and crustal deformation in the Northern Andes and Caribbean region. It covers topics such as subduction, plate kinematics, foreland basin development, orogenic wedge advance, and seismicity. The research also explores the role of detrital zircon in understanding sedimentation patterns and provides insights into the geological history of the area.
