GEOSUR 2004: Mesozoic to Quaternary evolution of Tierra del Fuego and neighbouring austral regions I

The impetus for the publication of thematic issues on Tierra del Fuego geology and geophysics born from the wealth of new information presented at Geosur International Symposium held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2004. The first aim of the organizing committee of Geosur 2004 was to provide sets of synthetic papers that could provide a rather comprehensive review of the geological and geophysical knowledge of the Tierra del Fuego region; a second aim was to publish more specific papers focused on subjects still under study and debate, including original contributions from Tierra del Fuego and neighbouring areas of the Patagonian Andes and Scotia plate.
