Seismogenic zone structure beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, from three-dimensional local earthquake P- and S-wave tomography
(Geophysical Journal International, 2006)
The subduction plate interface along the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, generates damaging large (Mw > 7.5) earthquakes. We present hypocenters and 3-D seismic velocity models (VP and VP/VS) calculated using simultaneous ...
A Creep Event on the Shallow Interface of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica Seismogenic Zone
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
Summary of the paper "A Creep Event on the Shallow Interface of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica Seismogenic Zone"
Crustal structure along the southern Central American volcanic front
(American Geophysical Union, 2008-08-20)
Subduction alters continents several ways, including accretion, magmatic addition, mantle wedge serpentinization, and crustal differentiation. These changes affect seismic velocities, so characterizing upper plate crust ...
Active Thrusting in the Inner Fore arc of Middle America, Costa Rica
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
Summary of the paper "Active Thrusting in the Inner Fore arc of Middle America, Costa Rica"
Análisis de la actividad sísmica en Costa Rica durante el 2010 y resumen de los eventos sísmicos más importantes presentados en Costa Rica de 1983 - 2012
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2014-01)
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la actividad sísmica registrada por la red sismográfica del OVSICORI-UNA en el año 2010; además de recopilar información de los sismos más importantes sentidos por la población del ...
Base computarizada de datos sobre Tectónica y Geología estructural de Centroamerica y el Caribe (Tectobase)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 1985)
Presentación de proyecto de banco computarizado sobre la bibliografía publicada sobre sobre Tectónica y Geología Estructural de Centroamérica y el Caribe (TECTOBASE)
Crustal Thickness Along the Central American Volcanic Arc
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
Resumen de ponencia "Crustal Thickness Along the Central American Volcanic Arc"
The intraplate Porto dos Gaúchos seismic zone in the Amazon craton — Brazil
(Elsevier, 2009-01-15)
The largest earthquake observed in the stable continental interior of the South American plate occurred in Serra do Tombador, Mato Grosso state — Brazil, on January 31, 1955 with a magnitude of 6.2 mb. Since then no other ...
International geosciences field research with undergraduate students: Three models for experiential learning projects investigating active tectonics of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
(Geological Society of America, 2009)
International field experiences offer exceptional opportunities for effective student
learning in the geosciences. Over the 10 yr period between 1998 and 2008, more than 40
undergraduate students from 14 institutions ...
Constraints on the sulfur subduction cycle in Central America from sulfur isotope compositions of volcanic gases
(European Association of Geochemistry, 2022-01-20)
The sulfur cycle at convergent margins remains poorly constrained yet is fundamentally important for understanding the redox state of Earth's reservoirs and the formation of ore deposits. In this study we investigate the ...
