(Seismological Soc. Amer., 2016)
On 16 September 2015, the M-w 8.3 Illapel, Chile, earthquake broke a large area of the Coquimbo region of north-central Chile. This area was well surveyed by more than 15 high-rate Global Positioning System (GPS) instruments, ...
Coseismic seafloor deformation in the trench region during the Mw8.8 Maule megathrust earthquake
(Nature, 2017)
The Mw 8.8 megathrust earthquake that occurred on 27 February 2010 offshore the Maule region of
central Chile triggered a destructive tsunami. Whether the earthquake rupture extended to the shallow
part of the plate ...
Luminescence dating in northern Chile: Implications for the Quaternary tectonic and geomorphologic evolution of the Mejillones Peninsula
(2019)
The geomorphology of the Mejillones Peninsula, northern Chile, evidences a Quaternary
tectonic uplifting process. Upper plate faults located close to the peninsula show recent activity.
However, there is no consensus ...
Hidden Holocene Slip Along the Coastal El Yolki Fault in Central Chile and Its Possible Link With Megathrust Earthquakes
(2019)
Megathrust earthquakes are commonly accompanied by increased upper-plate seismicity and occasionally triggered fault slip. In Chile, crustal faults slipped during and after the 2010 Maule (M8.8) earthquake. We studied the ...
Active Deformation, Uplift and Subsidence in Southern South America Throughout the Quaternary: A General Review About Their Development and Mechanisms
(Springer, 2016)
A broad range of processes act today and have acted simultaneously during the Quaternary, producing relief from the Chilean coast, where the Pacific Ocean floor is sinking underneath the South American margin, to the ...
Preservation potential of tsunami deposits on arid siliciclastic coasts
(ElsevierNL, 2013-11)
Numerous post-tsunami surveys have been conducted in the last two decades, especially since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. These studies have documented a variety of characteristic sedimentary and erosional features that ...
