Text of Note

The geodynamic setting of the Central Andes - an active continental margin -has been investigated for more than 10 years. The combination of traditionalgeologic field work with modern geophysical instruments (e.g. seismics, magneto- tellurics, gravity) have led to a comprehensive insight in thispart of the Earth's crust. Complementary maps show the geology, the Bouguer Gravity and Epicenters of Earthquakes as well as the Residual Gravity Anomalies in the scale 1:1.000.000. Geoscientists working in an area of an active continental margin will find a wealth of information. But also practitioners in Exploration industry can profit from it.
