I agree with you that we focused much more the Caribbean geodynamics until
the early Tertiary, because we needed a/some models of tectonic evolution;
several of us have data on the recent evolution of different key areas.
In the next future I hope to discuss about this issue, may be in projects
concerning the natural hazards, which are in progress.
All the best.
