    Ignimbrites of the Pliocene Bagaces Formation near Cañas (Guanacaste, Costa Rica) (2007)
    Schweizerbart Science Publishers
    In:  Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen, 246 (3). pp. 313-323.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: By this study, four units within the so far mostly undivided Bagaces Formation - a major ignimbrite unit of the Plio- to Pleistocene magmatic succession in northern Costa Rica - were identified and their ignimbrite sequences stratigraphically distinguished. The basal welded Montenegro ignimbrite of mid-Pliocene age forms the lowermost stratigraphic member. It is followed by three non-welded ignimbrite units of Upper Pliocene age, Sandillal (4.1-4.15 ± 0.02 Ma) and Cañas (2.06 ± 0.02 Ma) and the locally exposed Río Tenorio ignimbrite (estimated age 2 Ma). The ignimbrite units of the Bagaces Formation show decreasing thicknesses from NE to SW. For the non-welded Sandillal and Cañas units, distal lobes could be defined. Lateral pumice and lithics size distribution, as well as isopach data indicate a paleotopographical control for the deposition of the ignimbrites and allowed defining the source area of the ignimbrites. Ar-Ar-ages and compositions analysis of the pyroclastic units refer to the eruptive evolution of the Neogene volcanic arc.

    Deep electrical resistivity structure of northwestern Costa Rica (2009)
    AGU (American Geophysical Union)
    In:  Geophysical Research Letters, 36 . L02310.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-09-23
    Description: First long-period magnetotelluric investigations were conducted in early 2008 in northwestern Costa Rica, along a profile that extends from the coast of the Pacific Ocean, traverses the volcanic arc and ends currently at the Nicaraguan border. The aim of this study is to gain insight into the electrical resistivity structure and thus fluid distribution at the continental margin where the Cocos plate subducts beneath the Caribbean plate. Preliminary two-dimensional models map the only moderately resistive mafic/ultramafic complexes of the Nicoya Peninsula (resistivity of a few hundred Ωm), the conductive forearc and the backarc basins (several Ωm). Beneath the backarc basin the data image a poor conductor in the basement with a clear termination in the south, which may tentatively be interpreted as the Santa Elena Suture. The volcanic arc shows no pronounced anomaly at depth, but a moderate conductor underlies the backarc with a possible connection to the upper mantle. A conductor at deep-crustal levels in the forearc may reflect fluid release from the downgoing slab.
