    • Villalobos, Angelo; Easton, Gabriel; Maksymowicz, Andrei; Ruiz, Sergio; Lastras, Galderic; De Pascale, Gregory P.; Agurto Detzel, Hans (Amer Geophysical Union, 2020)
      The intra-arc Liquine-Ofqui Fault System (LOFS) is an active transpressive fault zone located in the Patagonian Andes of Chile. In 2007, a seismic sequence occurred in the Aysen Fjord region of Chilean Patagonia along the ...
    • Bangs, Nathan L.; Morgan, J. K.; Trehu, A. M.; Contreras Reyes, E.; Arnulf, A.F.; Han, S.; Olsen, K. M.; Zhang, E. (American Geophysical Union, 2020)
      The south central Chilean margin regularly produces many of the world's largest earthquakes and tsunami, including the 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule and 1960 Mw 9.5 Valdivia events. In 2017, we acquired seismic reflection data along ...
    • Brain, Matthew J.; Moya Fuentes, Pablo Sebastian; Kincey, Mark E.; Tunstall, Neil; Petley, David N.; Sepúlveda Valenzuela, Sergio Andrés (AMER Geophysical Union, 2021)
      Earthquakes trigger widespread landsliding in tectonically active landscapes. The effects of strong ground shaking on hillslope stability persist into the post-seismic stage; rates of landsliding remain elevated in the ...
    • León Ríos, Sergio; Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Maksymowicz, Andrei; Leyton, Felipe; Fuenzalida, Amaya; Madariaga, Raúl (Springer, 2016)
      We study the foreshocks and aftershocks of the 1 April 2014 Iquique earthquake of Mw 8.1. Most of these events were recorded by a large digital seismic network that included the Northern Chile permanent network and up to ...
    • García, Manuel; Pasten, César; Sepúlveda, Sergio; Montalva, Gonzalo A. (Elsevier, 2018)
      In this paper, static and dynamic analyses were performed considering the reconstituted geometry of a prehistoric 0.1 km(2) rockslide with an exposed stepped-planar failure surface using a distinct element code (UDEC). The ...
    • 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 ...
    • Ruiz Tapia, Sergio; Madariaga, R. (Elsevier, 2018-05)
      Recent earthquakes in Chile, 2014, Mw 8.2 Iquique, 2015, Mw 8.3 Illapel and 2016, Mw 7.6 Chiloe have put in evidence some problems with the straightforward application of ideas about seismic gaps, earthquake periodicity ...
    • Reginato, Gabino; Vera Sommer, Emilio; Contreras Reyes, Claudia; Tréhu, Anne M.; Maksymowicz, Andrei; Bello González, Juan Pablo; González, Felipe (Elsevier, 2020)
      On April 1, 2014, a large earthquake (Mw = 8.1) ruptured the central part of a historic seismic gap in northern Chile. In order to study the relationship between the co-seismic rupture characteristics and the crustal ...
    • Sano, Yuji; Kagoshima, Takanori; Takahata, Naoto; Nishio, Yoshiro; Roulleau, Emilie; Pinti, Daniele L.; Fischer, Tobias P. (Nature, 2015)
      Mt Ontake in central Japan suddenly erupted on 27th September 2014, killing 57 people with 6 still missing. It was a hydro-volcanic eruption and new magmatic material was not detected. There were no precursor signals such ...
    • González, Gabriel; Pasten Araya, Francisco; Víctor, Pía; González, Yerko; Valenzuela, Jordan; Shrivastava, Mahesh (Nature, 2021)
      Quaternary deformation in the northern Chile forearc is controlled by trench parallel shortening along reactivated Mesozoic faults. Dextral strikes-slip is expressed in NW-SE striking faults of the Atacama Fault System, ...
    • Barrientos, Sergio (Seismological Society of America, 2018)
      Chile is frequently affected by large and potentially tsunamigenic and damaging earthquakes as a result of rapid convergence of the Nazca plate beneath the South America plate. Ten M 8 or larger earthquakes have occurred ...
    • Venegas Aravena, Patricio; Cordaro Cárdenas, Enrique; Laroze, David (Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2020)
      Recently, it has been shown theoretically how the lithospheric stress changes could be linked with magnetic anomalies, frequencies, spatial distribution and the magneticmoment magnitude relation using the electrification ...
    • Melnick, Daniel; Moreno, Marcos; Quinteros, Javier; Báez, Juan Carlos; Deng, Zhiguo; Li, Shaoyang; Oncken, Onno (Blackwell, 2017)
      Along a subduction zone, great megathrust earthquakes recur either after long seismic gaps lastingseveral decades to centuries or over much shorter periods lasting hours to a few years when cascadingsuccessions of earthquakes ...
    • Olsen, Kelly M.; Bangs, Nathan L.; Tréhu, Anne M.; Han, Shuoshuo; Arnulf, Adrien; Contreras Reyes, Eduardo (Elsevier, 2020)
      The south-central Chile margin experienced the largest and sixth largest earthquakes ever recorded - the 1960 Mw 9.5 Valdivia and 2010 Mw 8.8 Maule megathrust earthquakes, respectively. In early 2017, we conducted a seismic ...
