Geodynamic Evolution of the Southernmost Andes Connections with the
This book focuses on the strong relation between the tectonic evolution of the Southernmost Andes and their closest southern neighbors, the Scotia Sea and Antarctica. Some episodes are related to processes of global significance such as the opening of the

Foreword
This new volume of the “Springer Earth System Science” deals with the attractive Southernmost Andes–Antarctica connection issue, which has called the attention of several generations of field geologists, geophysicists, and oceanologists. A new generation of researchers, but already experienced young scientists, is presenting the results of several years of investigation in these remote regions of very difficult access. It is interesting to compare the early work on land of Katz (1964)1 and the studies of Dalziel et al. (1974)2 in the Rocas Verdes marginal basin and the Scotia Arc, to see how much we have advance in the knowledge and the timing of the tectonic processes. This book will be a milestone for understanding the new connections of the Patagonian–Fuegian Andes with the Scotia Arc and related areas. Special attention should be paid to the work of Matías C. Ghiglione and coworkers, who is based on an extensive and detailed fieldwo
