We discuss the influence of processes that affect the beach profile, like wave condition, grain size characteristics and morphology. This work examines the relation between 8 beach profiles at the tip of the Peninsula of ...

The inversion of surface-wave phase-velocity dispersion curves provides a reliable method to derive near-surface shear-wave velocity profiles. In this work, we invert phase-velocity dispersion curves estimated from 2D ...

In a previous paper by Schmidt et al. (2008), from CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation data, a comparison was made between a Gaussian filter applied to the "complete" ...

Microtremor exploration was performed around seismic recording stations at five sites in Lima city, Peru in order to know the site amplification at these sites. The Spatial Autocorrelation (SPAC) method was applied to ...

Evaluation of the seismic response of the Santiago Basin requires a shear wave velocity model with vertical and lateral variations that may explain the site effects reported during the 2010 Maule Earthquake. In order to ...

We present experimental and numerical analysis of nonlinear processes responsible for generating infragravity waves in the nearshore. We provide new experimental data on random wave propagation and associated velocity ...

A blind comparison of independent invasive (downhole, standard penetration, bender element) and noninvasive microtremor shear-wave velocity (Vs) profiling is presented for 11 strong-motion stations in central and southern ...
