Statistics of major Chilean earthquakes recurrence
(Springer, 2012-06)
In this work, we consider historical earthquakes registered in Chile (from 1900 up to 2010) with epicenters located between 19 and 40°S latitude, in order to evaluate the probabilities of the occurrence of strong earthquakes ...
Post-earthquake coastal evolution and recovery of an embayed beach in central-southern Chile
(2015)
Earthquakes and tsunamis are significant factors for change along active margin shores, and influence coastal evolution. The Chilean coast was affected in 2010 by a subduction earthquake with a magnitude of Mw 8.8 and also ...
Interseismic coupling and seismic potential along the Central Andes subduction zone
(American Geophysical Union, 2011-12-17)
We use about two decades of geodetic measurements to characterize interseismic strain build up along the Central Andes subduction zone from Lima, Peru, to Antofagasta, Chile. These measurements are modeled assuming a 3-plate ...
An evaluation of the applicability of current ground-motion models to the South and Central American subduction zones
(Seismological Society of America, 2012-02)
The applicability of existing ground‐motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for subduction‐zone earthquakes is an important issue to address in the assessment of the seismic hazard affecting the Peru–Chile and Central American ...
Chilean megathrust earthquake recurrence linked to frictional contrast at depth
(2018)
Fundamental processes of the seismic cycle in subduction zones, including those controlling the recurrence and size of great earthquakes, are still poorly understood. Here, by studying the 2016 earthquake in southern ...
Estimation of slip scenarios for megathrust earthquakes: a case study for Peru
(University of California Santa Barbara, 2011-08-13)
The recent 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake occurred in a region where giant megathrust earthquakes were not expected. This earthquake proved the difficulty to assess seismic hazard mainly based on information from historical ...
Postseismic relocking of the subduction megathrust following the 2007 Pisco, Peru, earthquake
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-05-03)
Characterizing the time evolution of slip over different phases of the seismic cycle is crucial to a better understanding of the factors controlling the occurrence of large earthquakes. In this study, we take advantage of ...
