Past large earthquakes influence future strong ground motion: Example of the Chilean subduction zone
(2024)
Large earthquakes in subduction zones harbor significant elastic strain accumulation duethe slip deficit (interseismic coupling), posing a major earthquake and tsunami threat tocoastal populated areas. Unlike regions that ...
THE ECUADORIAN MOHO
(2013-12)
Three MOHO models are investigated in order to fix one previous to tomographic inversion. Gravimetric Chambat-Valette
model, three dimensional velocity model and gravimetric satellite research were used in the Ecuador ...
Interseismic deformation at subduction zones investigated by 2D numerical modeling: case study before the 2010 Maule earthquake
(2016)
We study interseismic deformation preceding the Mw8.8 2010 Maule earthquake by means of two-dimensional finite-element modeling. Our goal is to gain insight into the fundamental factors controlling elastic strain build-up ...
The westward lithospheric drift, its role on the subduction and transform zones surrounding Americas: Andean to cordilleran orogenic types cyclicity
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
We investigate the effect of the westerly rotation of the lithosphere on the active margins that surround the Americas and find good correlations between the inferred easterly-directed mantle counterflow and the main ...
Jurassic to Early Cretaceous subduction-related magmatism in the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile (18°30'-24°S): geochemistry and petrogenesis
(Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería (SERNAGEOMIN), 2007)
Rock uplift at the transition from flat-slab to normal subduction: The Kenai Mountains, Southeast Alaska
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The process of flat-slab subduction results in complex deformation of overlying forearcs, yet how this deformation decays with distance away from the zone of underthrusting is not well understood. In south central Alaska, ...
Late Cenozoic to modern-day volcanism in the Northern Andes: A geochronological, petrographical, and geochemical review
(Springer Verlag, 2019-01-01)
The Northern Andean Block is the result of complex tectonic interaction between the Farallon-Nazca, South American, and Caribbean Plates. Abundant late Cenozoic volcanism (and associated hypabyssal porphyritic plutonism), ...
Jurassic-Early Cretaceous intermediate virtual geomagnetic poles and Pangaean subduction zones
(Elsevier Science, 2008-02)
The objective of this paper is to show that the distribution of Jurassic-Early Cretaceous intermediate virtual geomagnetic poles (VGPs) seems to be conditioned by Pangaean subducted slabs. Palaeomagnetic data from between ...
