Resumen
Hoy en día, gracias a la información espacial disponible y a la capacidad de procesamiento de datos, la geomorfología cuantitativa se ha convertido en una herramienta valiosa para evaluar la actividad tectónica reciente en áreas complejas estructuralmente como el Macizo de Santander, una región con baja densidad de datos sismológicos y de GPS, y escasos o nulos estudios de paleosismología, donde se hace necesario destacar los rasgos morfológicos asociados con la Falla de Bucaramanga y estructuras transversales con rumbo NE, para identificar patrones de deformación y entender su cinemática e interacción espacial y temporal. La evaluación de índices morfométricos en el margen occidental del macizo permitió realizar análisis de asimetría de cuencas de drenaje, del frente montañoso y de variaciones de la red de drenaje. Los resultados confirman una actividad tectónica significativa que genera basculamiento activo en algunos sectores asociados con fallas transversales NE, tasas de levantamiento empíricas que varían de 0,03 a 0,08 m/ka, así como rotación antihoraria de 16,5° de las cuencas hidrográficas, con lomos de presión que muestran propagación al SE a lo largo de la Falla de Bucaramanga.
