Evidence of a large “prehistorical” earthquake during Inca times? New insights from an indigenous chronicle (Cusco, Peru)
(ElsevierNL, 2020-12)
A colonial chronicle written by the indigenous Peruvian author Pachacuti Yamqui Salcamaygua ([1613?]) relates a legend of the sudden appearance of a huge animal – kilometres in length and approximately 4 m in width – and ...
Coseismic and postseismic motion of a landslide: Observations,modeling, and analogy with tectonic faults
(American Geophysical UnionUS, 2014-10)
We document the first time series of a landslide reactivation by an earthquake using continuous GPS measurements over the Maca landslide (Peru). Our survey shows a coseismic response of the landslide of about 2 cm, followed ...
Seismic-gravimetric analysis of the subducted Nazca plate 1 between 32°S and 36°S
(Science Press, 2018-01)
The study region is seismically and tectonically characterized by the angle variations in the subduction of the Nazca plate. The results obtained from earthquakes location between 32° and 36°S latitude and 67°–71°W longitude ...
Tectonic ecology of the temperate forests of South America and New Zealand
(Royal Society of New Zealand, 2016-04-07)
Ecological disturbances triggered by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are of fundamental importance in structuring the temperate forests of southwestern South America and New Zealand. We review studies of the ecological ...
LoRaMoto: A communication system to provide safety awareness among civilians after an earthquake
(Elsevier Science, 2021-02-09)
Civilians in areas hit by earthquakes become in particular concerned about the safety of family and friends. However, outages in communications networks following these events limit their capacity to get information. So, ...
Detection of active landslides by DInSAR in Andean Precordillera of San Juan, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-06)
Landslides are downslope mass movements, which implies the combination of natural complex processes and sometimes affect anthropic resources. Many researchers inventoried landslides in the Argentinian Andean Precordillera ...
Analysis of La Dehesa paleo-landslide: Central Pre-Andes of Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-04)
The main objective of this paper is to consider the influence of Quaternary faults as likely triggering factor for rockslides occurrence in the Central Pre-Andes, a region with intense shallow seismic activity. A rockslide ...
Seismotectonic implications of the South Chile ridge subduction beneath the Patagonian Andes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-02-14)
The South Chile ridge (SCR) intersects the Patagonian trench around 46°09′S, forming the triple junction among the Antarctic, Nazca, and South America plates. Subduction of the SCR since ~18 Ma produced the opening of a ...
Development of a virtual earthquake engineering lab and its impact on education
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Medellín - Facultad de Minas, 2018-01-01)
The use of information and telecommunication technologies (ICT) for the development of educational tools such as virtual laboratories has become a valuable teaching support practice in different areas of professional ...
Impact of a paleo-earthquake and debris flow in Pikillaqta collapse, Cusco-Perú
(8th International Symposium on Andean Geodynamics (ISAG)EC, 2019-09)
In Cusco Valley, have been highlighted the Tambomachay, Pachatusan and Cusco active faults (Cabrera, 1988 & Benavente et al., 2013). Cusco has a historical and instrumental seismic record Mw> 5, events occurred in 1650, ...
