Rupture process of the April 24, 2017, Mw 6.9 Valparaíso earthquake from the joint inversion of teleseismic body waves and near-field data
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)
The central Chilean margin (32°–33°S) is characterized by the subduction of the Juan Fernández Ridge (JFR) beneath the continental South American plate. The JFR corresponds to a hotspot track composed by seamounts typically ...
Material transfer and its influence on the formation of slope basins along the South Central Chilean convergent margin: Insights from scaled sandbox experiments
(ELSEVIER, 2011)
Material transfer along and across a subduction zone determines not only the morphology of an accretionary prism, but also the architecture and tectono-sedimentary development of their forearc basins. However, the nature ...
Nitrogen recycling at the Costa Rican subduction zone: The role of incoming plate structure
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-24)
Efficient recycling of subducted sedimentary nitrogen (N) back to the atmosphere through arc volcanism has been advocated for the Central America margin while at other locations mass balance considerations and N contents ...
Metamorphic evolution of a subduction complex, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica
(Blackwell Science, 1998-07-01)
A subduction complex composed of ocean floor material mixed with arc-derived metasediments crops out in the Elephant Island group and at Smith Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, with metamorphic ages of 120-80 Ma ...
Metamorphic evolution of a subduction complex, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica
(Blackwell Science, 1998-07-01)
A subduction complex composed of ocean floor material mixed with arc-derived metasediments crops out in the Elephant Island group and at Smith Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, with metamorphic ages of 120-80 Ma ...
Seismic structure and tectonics of the continental wedge overlying the source region of the Iquique Mw8.1 2014 earthquake
(Elsevier, 2020)
On April 1, 2014, a large earthquake (Mw = 8.1) ruptured the central part of a historic seismic gap in northern Chile. In order to study the relationship between the co-seismic rupture characteristics and the crustal ...
Gravitational deformation and inherited structural control on slope morphology in the subduction zone of north-central Chile (ca. 29-33 degrees S)
(Wiley, 2017)
Subduction zones provide direct insight into plate boundary deformation and by studying these areas we better understand tectonic processes and variability over time. We studied the structure of the offshore subduction ...
Shallow intraplate seismicity related to the Illapel 2015 Mw 8.4 earthquake: Implications from the seismic source
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
The September 16, 2015, Mw 8.4 Illapel, Chile earthquake is the first large event occurring in north-central Chile after the 1943 earthquake, filling a known seismic gap in the region. The earthquake took place in a complex ...
