A rapid estimation of near-field tsunami runup
(Amer Geophysical Union, 2015)
Many efforts have been made to quickly estimate the maximum runup height of tsunamis
associated with large earthquakes. This is a difficult task because of the time it takes to construct an accurate
tsunami model using ...
Performance of bridges with seismic isolation bearings during the Maule earthquake, Chile
(Elsevier, 2013)
On February 27, 2010 an earthquake of magnitude Mw=8.8, with epicenter in Cobquecura, Maule region, hit the central part of Chile. After the earthquake, a tsunami occurred that caused heavy casualties and damage to buildings ...
Contrasting amount of fluids along the megathrust ruptured by the 2010 Maule earthquake as revealed by a combined analysis of aftershocks and afterslip
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
We present a novel approach combining time-variable computations of b-value and afterslip to study the postseismic activity following the Mw 8.8 Maule 2010 earthquake. We subdivided the first 392 days after the mainshock ...
Microtremors' HVSR and its correlation with surface geology and damage observed after the 2010 Maule earthquake (Mw 8.8) at Talca and Curicó, Central Chile
(Elsevier, 2013)
Nowadays, microtremors' horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) has been extensively used in the estimation
of the predominant vibration frequency of soils, mainly for microzonation purposes. In the present
study, ...
Gradients from GOCE reveal gravity changes before Pisagua Mw = 8.2 and Iquique Mw = 7.7 large megathrust earthquakes
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
Considerable improvements in the measurement of the Earth gravity field from GOCE satellite mission have provided global gravity field models with homogeneous coverage, high precision and good spatial resolution. In ...
Characterization of historical megathrust earthquake ruptures in South Central Chile using logic tree analysis.
(Universidad de Concepción.Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas, 2023)
Characterizing the spatial distribution of ruptures from historical and recent earthquakes is key to understanding the seismic cycle of large earthquakes in subduction zones, and thus to assessing the potential risks ...
Landslides induced by the 2010 Chile megathrust earthquake: a comprehensive inventory and correlations with geological and seismic factors
(Springer Verlag, 2019)
The 2010 Mw = 8.8 Maule earthquake, which occurred in the subduction contact between the Nazca and the South American tectonic plates off the coast of Chile, represents an important opportunity to improve understanding of ...
Seismological analyses of the 2010 March 11, Pichilemu, Chile Mw 7.0 and Mw 6.9 coastal intraplate earthquakes
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
On 2010 March 11, a sequence of large, shallow continental crust earthquakes shook central
Chile. Two normal faulting events with magnitudes around Mw 7.0 and Mw 6.9 occurred just
15 min apart, located near the town of ...
