    • Empirical site classification of CSN network using strong-motion records 
      Leyton, F.; Pastén Puchi, César; Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Idini, B.; Rojas Barrales, Fabián (Seismological Society of America, 2018)
      The National Seismological Center of the University of Chile (CSN, Centro Sismologico Nacional) has been operating more than 400 seismic stations throughout the country. The data collected from this network, from March ...
    • Focal mechanism, magnitude, and finite-fault rapid estimation using the elliptical patch method in Chile 
      Leyton, F.; Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Madariaga, R. (Seismological Soc Amer, 2018)
      Nowadays, most fast, automatic algorithms estimate the magnitude and location of earthquakes assuming a point-source approximation that might produce large errors in the predicted shaking. In this study, using a kinematic ...
    • Geophysical characterization of the chilean seismological stations: first results 
      Leyton, F.; Leopold, A.; Hurtado, G.; Pastén, C.; Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Montalva, G.; Saéz, E. (Seismological Soc Amer, 2018)
      The Chilean Seismological Network has been rapidly growing in recent years, going from a few dozens stations working before 2010 to nearly a 100 installed all over the territory. Even more, nearly 300 strong-motion stations ...
    • How Fast Can We Reliably Estimate the Magnitude of Subduction Earthquakes? 
      Leyton, F.; Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Baez, J.; Meneses, G.; Madariaga, R. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
      Fast and reliable characterization of earthquakes can provide vital information to the population, even reducing the effects of strong shaking produced by them. In this study, we explore the minimum time required to estimate ...
    • Reawakening of large earthquakes in south central Chile: The 2016 Mw 7.6 Chiloé event 
      Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Moreno, M.; Melnick, D.; Campo, F. del; Poli, P.; Baez, J. C.; Leyton, F.; Madariaga, R. (American Geophysical Union, 2017)
      On 25 December 2016, the M-w 7.6 Chiloe earthquake broke a plate boundary asperity in south central Chile near the center of the rupture zone of the Mw 9.5 Valdivia earthquake of 1960. To gain insight on decadal-scale ...
    • The chilean GNSS network: current status and progress toward early warning applications 
      Báez, J. C.; Leyton, F.; Troncoso, C.; Campo, F. del; Bevis, M.; Vigny, C.; Moreno, M.; Simons, M.; Kendrick, E.; Parra, H.; Blume, F. (Seismological Society of America, 2018)
      Chile is one of the world's most seismically active regions and is therefore extensively studied by the earthquake sciences. The great length of the country hosts a variety of measurement systems allowing for the ...
