The last major earthquakes along the Magallanes-Fagnano fault system recorded by disturbed trees (Tierra del Fuego, South America)
(Wiley, 2014-12)
Forests situated above active fault zones may record hillslope evolution, thus holding information about recent seismic events. Lenga trees (Nothofagus pumilio) extend across the Magallanes-Fagnano fault system (MFFS), the ...
Active tectonics around the Cusco City, Perú: Record of earthquakes in the last 14,000 years, from paleoseismological data
(8th International Symposium on Andean Geodynamics (ISAG)EC, 2019-09)
The city of Cusco in Peru was hit by several strong earthquakes in historical times (Silgado, 1978), but the seismogenic source of these earthquakes are yet unknown. Cusco is surrounded by geological faults with evidence ...
Exploring the Historical Earthquakes Preceding the Giant 1960 Chile Earthquake in a Time-Dependent Seismogenic Zone
(2017)
New documentary findings and available paleoseismological evidence provide both new insights into the historical seismic sequence that ended with the giant 1960 south-central Chile earthquake and relevant information about ...
Archeoseismology in Machu Picchu, paleoseismology and lacustrine records in Cuzco region as key interdisciplinary approaches for intraplate deformation characterization on the Andean Altiplano
(Royal Observatory of BelgiumBE, 2018-10-25)
[ESP] En América del Sur, los seres humanos son propensos a asentarse a lo largo de fallas escarpadas. Emblemático entre ellos en Perú, la región turística y tectónica de Cuzco se ve afectada por terremotos dañinos desde ...
Structural geormophology and paleoseismology in the Altiplano of Peru: First geological evidence of the 1950 earthquake
(8th International Symposium on Andean Geodynamics (ISAG)EC, 2019-09)
The Pachatusan Faults System (SFP) is located 5km NW of the city of Cusco. It presents sub-parallel segments that are distributed along 25 km in a width of 2 km. Deposits and geoforms of fluvial-glacial environment are ...
