Complementarity of Empirical, Analytical and Numerical Techniques for Assessing the Stability of a Natural Cave System in the Coastal Cliffs of Las Grutas (Río Negro, Argentina)

Coastal caves developed in weak and heterogeneous cliffs constitute complex geomechanical systems in which lithological variability, structural discontinuities, groundwater seepage and marine erosion interact. Their stability assessment is particularly challenging in urbanised co...

Onshore surface–subsurface correlation of orogenic structures and the continuation of the late Paleozoic Gondwanides in the Tierra del Fuego fold-and-thrust belt, southern Patagonia

Background The Cretaceous–Cenozoic Tierra del Fuego fold-and-thrust belt in southern Patagonia exposes Paleozoic–Cenozoic rocks recording the protracted, subduction-dominated tectonic evolution of South America, from Cambrian–Ordovician magmatism to Permian metamorphism, Jurassic...
