The geometry of the Chilean continental wedge: Tectonic segmentation of subduction processes off Chile
(Elsevier, 2015)
Based on high-resolution bathymetry and geophysical observations, the precise continental wedge geometry
along the Chileanmargin is analyzed. The data showcomplex patterns in continentalwedge geometry that challenge
the ...
Activity and vp/vs ratio of volcano-tectonic seismic swarm zones at nevado del ruiz volcano, colombia
(UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE COLOMBIA, 2010)
An analysis of the seismic activity for volcano-tectonic earthquake (VT) swarms zones at Nevado del Ruiz Volcano (NRV) was carried out for the interval 1985- 2002, which is the most seismic active period at NRV until now ...
Tectonic control of erosion in the southern Central Andes
(Elsevier Science, 2018-01)
Landscape evolution modeling and global compilations of exhumation data indicate that a wetter climate, mainly through orographic rainfall, can govern the spatial distribution of erosion rates and crustal strain across an ...
The Oligocene-Neogene deep-sea Columbia Channel system in the South Brazilian Basin: Seismic stratigraphy and environmental changes
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
The Columbia Channel (CCS) system is a depositional system located in the South Brazilian Basin, south of the Vitoria-Trindade volcanic chain. It lies in a WNW-ESE direction on the continental rise and abyssal plain, at a ...
Analysis of Seismic Activity near Theodore Roosevelt Dam, Arizona, during the Occupation of the EarthScope/USArray Transportable Array
(2012)
Rate and distribution of seismic activity are important indicators of the overall state of tectonic stress within a region. In regions characterized by low levels of seismicity, active fault surfaces are rarely visible at ...
Seismic probabilistic safety assessment and risk control of nuclear power plants in Northwest Europe
(2016)
Nuclear power plays a crucial role in energy supply in the world: around 15% of the electricity generated worldwide is provided from nuclear stations avoiding around 2.5 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions. As of January 2016, ...
Sediment deformation in Miocene and post-Miocene strata, Northeastern Brazil: Evidence for paleoseismicity in a passive margin
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
Stratigraphic intervals characterized by varied and complex styles of soft-sediment deformation structures are well preserved in Miocene and Late Pleistocene to Holocene deposits of a sedimentary basin located in Northeastern ...
Kinematics of the active West Andean fold-and-thrust belt (central Chile): Structure and long-term shortening rate
(Blackwell, 2017)
West verging thrusts, synthetic with the Nazca-South America subduction interface, have beenrecently discovered at the western front of the Andes. At ~33°300S, the active San Ramón fault stands asthe most frontal of these ...
Regionalización morfoestructural de la Sierra Maestra y de las depresiones circundantes
(1986)
El análisis detallado de las morfoestructuras de Cuba Sudoriental permitió elaborar el presente esquema de regionalización morfoestructural, con el objetivo fundamental de determinar las unidades morfoestructurales más ...
Historical seismicity in oceans from sailors' testimonies
(Springer, 2016)
Before seismological catalogs were routinely produced, seafarers experienced major seismic events at sea that were documented in their logs. This article analyzes some of these old records-mostly from eighteenth and ...
