Geology and Tectonics of Northwestern South America: The Pacific-Caribbean-Andean Junction (Frontiers in Earth Sciences)

The Northern Andes: A Geological Journey Through Time is a comprehensive overview of the geological evolution of the Northern Andes, covering Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Panama.

This book provides updated interpretations based on modern lithogeochemical, seismic, gravity, and magnetic data, as well as radiogenic isotope and radiometric age determinations.

The composite data allows for a detailed interpretation of the tectono-magmatic history of the Northern Andean Block, including its assembly and the contrasts with classical Cordilleran-type orogenic models.

The book analyzes the pre-Andean architecture of northwestern South America's role in developing the Northern Andean orogenic system and provides solutions to key stratigraphic, structural, metamorphic, magmatic, and tectonic questions.

This product is a must-read for geologists, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex geological history of the Northern Andes.
