Neogene-Quaternary seismic stratigraphy of the Llancanelo Lake Basin, Mendoza, Argentina

ABSTRACT A new shallow multichannel seismic survey was carried out in the Llancanelo Lake region (Southern Mendoza Province, Argentina), in order to complete and extend previously surveyed seismic sections. The new seismic data allowed to double the already existing data. The obtained information wa...
