Seismic source of the earthquake of Camana Peru 2001 (Mw 8.2) from joint inversion of geodetic and tsunami data
(Springer, 2021-12)
On June 23, 2001 at 15:33 local time (20:33 UTC), a strong earthquake of magnitude Mw 8.2 shook the southern region of Peru, causing considerable material damage and the loss of 74 human lives. The epicenter was located ...
Modern diatom assemblages from Chilean tidal marshes and their application for quantifying deformation during past great earthquakes
(2017)
Tidal marsh sediments from south-central Chile provide evidence for multiple great earthquakes. Diatom transfer functions, statistical models of the relationship between species preserved in the sediment and elevation, ...
Contrasting amount of fluids along the megathrust ruptured by the 2010 Maule earthquake as revealed by a combined analysis of aftershocks and afterslip
(2016)
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 ...
Hidden Holocene Slip Along the Coastal El Yolki Fault in Central Chile and Its Possible Link With Megathrust Earthquakes
(2019)
Megathrust earthquakes are commonly accompanied by increased upper-plate seismicity and occasionally triggered fault slip. In Chile, crustal faults slipped during and after the 2010 Maule (M8.8) earthquake. We studied the ...
Geotechnical Aspects of the 20115 M-w 8.3 Illapel Megathrust Earthquake Sequence in Chile
(2017-05)
The 2015 Illapel earthquake sequence in Central Chile, occurred along the subduction zone interface in a known seismic gap, with moment magnitudes of M-w 8.3, M-w 7.1, and M-w 7.6. The Main event triggered tsunami waves ...
The 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel, Chile, earthquake: direction-reversed along-dip rupture with localized water reverberation
(Seismological Society of America, 2017)
The kinematic rupture process of the 2015 Illapel, Chile, earthquake is investigated based on a joint inversion of teleseismic, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar, Global Positioning System, and tsunami data, as well ...
Geotechnical Aspects of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel Megathrust Earthquake Sequence in Chile
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2017)
The 2015 Illapel earthquake sequence in Central Chile, occurred along the subduction zone interface in a known seismic gap, with moment magnitudes of M-w 8.3, M-w 7.1, and M-w 7.6. The Main event triggered tsunami waves ...
Earthquake segmentation in northern Chile correlates with curved plate geometry
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)
We performed an integrated analysis of the coseismic slip, afterslip and aftershock activity of the 2014 M w 8.1 Pisagua earthquake. This earthquake seems to be spatially located between two major historical earthquakes, ...
The effect of dynamic loading on the shear strength of pyroclastic Ash Deposits and implications for landslide hazard: The case of Pudahuel Ignimbrite, Chile
(Elsevier, 2016)
The co-seismic and post-seismic behaviour of pyroclastic ash deposits and its influence on slope stability remains as a challenging subject in engineering geology. Case studies in volcanic areas of the world suggest that ...
