Abstract

Summary

We would like to present our project that aims to investigate the tectono-thermal evolution of the Altiplano in the Central Andes from the basin to the orogenic scale and to study the interplay between Earth's deep and surface processes in convergent context.

We aim to unravel the sedimentologic, structural and thermal evolution of the hinterland basins of the Altiplano in order to provide critical evidences for the history and style of the deformation in that region. In fact, these basins remain attractive frontier basins for petroleum exploration.

At the orogenic scale, this study projects to compare regional cross-sections at different latitudes. According to the available seismic and seismologic data, we propose to produce 2 regional lithospheric-scale cross-sections mainly based on detailed balanced cross-sections and geophysical modeling.
