A New Sulfur and Carbon Degassing Inventory for the Southern Central American Volcanic Arc: The Importance of Accurate Time-Series Data Sets and Possible Tectonic Processes Responsible for Temporal Variations in Arc-Scale Volatile Emissions
(AGU Publications, 2017-12-12)This work presents a new database of SO2 and CO2 fluxes from the Southern Central American Volcanic Arc (SCAVA) for the period 2015–2016. We report 300 SO2 flux measurements from 10 volcanoes and gas ratios from 11 volcanoes ... -
Aspectos espeleogenéticos, hidrogeológicos y de geomorfología kárstica de Venado de San Carlos
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2019)En los últimos años, personal de la UCR con colaboración de espeleólogos y la administración de Cavernas de Venado, realizó la cartografía de aproximadamente 5 kilómetros de pasajes de cuevas. Esta cartografía ha permitido ... -
Baseflow recession analysis in the inland Pacific Northwest of the United States
(Springer Nature, 2015)The storage-discharge relationships of 26 water sheds in the inland Pacific Northwest of the United States were analyzed. Four fitting methods were used to obtain the baseflow coefficients: lower envelope, organic corre ... -
Constraints on inner forearc deformation from balanced cross sections, Fila Costen˜ a thrust belt, Costa Rica
(American Geophysical Union, 2007-12-21)The Fila Costeña thrust belt in the forearc of Costa Rica is accommodating a significant portion of the convergence of the Cocos plate and Panama microplate. Geologic mapping of the thrust belt depicts a duplex with three ... -
Desgasificación asociada a el lago del volcán Río Cuarto y su potencial de peligro sobre la comunidad de Río Cuarto
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2022-10)Evalua el peligro potencial sobre la población y actividades agropecuarias circundantes a el lago de Río Cuarto, mediante la identificación de la composición de los gases presentes en el lago y posible difusión de los datos ... -
Insights on Hydrothermal‐Magmatic Interactions and Eruptive Processes at Poás Volcano (Costa Rica) From High‐Frequency Gas Monitoring and Drone Measurements
(AGU Publications, 2019-02-06)Identification of unambiguous signals of volcanic unrest is crucial in hazard assessment. Processes leading to phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions remain poorly understood, inhibiting effective eruption forecasting. Our ... -
Isla del Coco, on Cocos Plate, converges with Isla de San Andrés, on the Caribbean Plate, at 78mm/yr
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2012-11)Isla del Coco is the only land mass of the Cocos Plate that emerges above sea level. This makes it the only place where Cocos Plate motion can be measured using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) monitoring. Global ... -
Mechanics of back arc deformation in Costa Rica: Evidence from an aftershock study of the April 22, 1991, Valle de la Estrella, Costa Rica, earthquake (Mw=7.7)
(American Geophysical Union, 1994-10)The April 22, 1991, Mw=7.7 Valle de la Estrella, Costa Rica, earthquake represents back arc thrusting of the Caribbean plate beneath the Panama block along the North Panama Thrust Belt. Large back arc thrusting events are ... -

Seismic cycle and plate margin deformation in Costa Rica: GPS observations from 1994 to 1997
(American Geophysical Union, 1999-12-10)Global Positioning System (GPS) observations in Costa Rica from 1994 to 1997 reveal a complex pattern of motion consistent with the superposition of seismic cycle and secular plate margin deformation. In the south, velocity ... -
Short-period volcanic gas precursors to phreatic eruptions: Insights from Poás Volcano, Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2016-03)Volcanic eruptions involving interaction with water are amongst the most violent and unpredictable geologic phenomena on Earth. Phreatic eruptions are exceptionally difficult to forecast by traditional geophysical techniques. ... -
