Electrical Resistivity Structure of the Altiplano-Puna Magma Body and Volcan Uturuncu from Magnetotelluric Data
DownloadFall 2015
An intense episode of silicic volcanism in the Southern Altiplano over the past ten million years has created a major volcanic province in the Central Andes known as the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC). Geophysical evidence indicates that magma is still present in a large mid-crustal...

The central Andes (18° - 26°S) is an active Cordilleran orogen, formed through the subduction of the Nazca oceanic plate beneath the South American continent. Despite significant tectonic crustal shortening and thickening (60 -70 km), deep seismic imaging indicates a thin to absent mantle...

Borehole breakouts are zones of enlargements of the wellbore cross section that form as a result of rock failure at the wellbore wall during drilling. The analysis of borehole breakout is essential in addressing wellbore stability, well completion, and sand production problems. This research...
