Abstract
A comparison of the recorded sea-level changes with global sea-level curves provides a reconstruction of local tectonic uplift and downwarp events during the Neogene-Quaternary. The migration of the Juan Fernández Ridge underneath this part of the Chilean flat-slab sector caused a relative uplift of 60Â m, followed by subsidence of 125Â m in its wake. The generalized tectonic rate of change varied from 0.02 to 0.08Â mm/yr.
