Nicoya earthquake rupture anticipated by geodetic measurement of the locked plate interface
(Nature Research, 2013-12-22)
The Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica is one of the few places on Earth where the seismically active plate interface of a subduction zone is directly overlaid by land rather than ocean. At this plate interface, large megathrust ...
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 ...

Summary of the paper "A Creep Event on the Shallow Interface of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica Seismogenic Zone"
The March 25, 1990 (Mw=7.0, ML=6.8), earthquake at the entrance of the Nicoya Gulf, Costa Rica: Its prior activity, foreshocks, aftershocks, and triggered seismicity
(American Geophysical Union, 1995-10-10)
On March 25, 1990 a large earthquake (Mw = 7.0, ML = 6.8) occurred at the entrance of the Nicoya Gulf, Costa Rica, at 1322:55.6 UTC, producing considerable damage in central Costa Rica and generating much interest about ...
