  abstract = {{A} detailed study of recent sediments in the {M}aipo {R}iver {V}alley ({C}ajon del {M}aipo), east of {S}antiago, shows a compressive deformation documented by coeval reverse faults and drag-folds. {T}hese structures are characteristic of a principal stress direction trending roughly {N}-{S} ({N}338 degrees {E}) that also affects the older sediments of the {A}banico {F}ormation constituting the bedrock of the {Q}uaternary alluvial terraces. {T}wo deformation episodes are superposed in the bedrock: a {N}eogene deformation event (post 9 {M}a), having an {E}-{W}-trending sigma 1, and a late {Q}uaternary event with sigma 1 roughly trending {N}-{S}. {T}he latter would be the result of regional-scale partitioning of the oblique convergence vector between the {N}azca and {S}outh {A}merican {P}lates; a buttress at 33 degrees {S} would produce a north-south velocity gradient in the forearc leading to regional, north-south shortening. {S}hallow crustal seismicity in the inner forearc ({M}ain {C}ordillera) is -at least in part- compatible with the compression direction as obtained from the kinematic analysis of mesoscopic fault-slip data.},
