Fine-Tuning the Seismic Potential of the Nicoya Gap in NW Costa Rica
(American Geophysical Union, 2007-05-22)
The Nicoya seismic gap is a subduction segment along the Middle American Trench where the Cocos plate subducts under the Caribbean plate. This seismic gap, located under the Nicoya Peninsula in northwestern Costa Rica, has ...
Renewed Explosive Phreatomagmatic Activity at Poás Volcano, Costa Rica in April 2017
(Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018-10-16)
Phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions at volcanoes often present no short termprecursory activity, making them a challenge to forecast. Poás volcano, Costa Rica, exhibits cyclic activity with phreatic and some phreatomagmatic ...
OVSICORI's Southern Costa Rica Geodynamic Control Network: The opening of a Pandora's Box
(IASPEI, 2016-06-20)
Summary of the presentation “OVSICORI's South Costa Rica Geodynamic Control Network: Opening a Pandora's box. Presented at II General Assembly of the Latin America and Caribbean Seismological Commission of IASPEI, Heredia, ...
Far-field triggering of foreshocks near the nucleation zone of the 5 September 2012 (MW 7.6) Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica earthquak
(Elsevier, 2015-12-01)
On 5 September 2012, a moment magnitude (MW) 7.6 earthquake occurred directly beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, an area with dense seismic and geodetic network coverage. The mainshock ruptured a portion of a previously identified ...
A brittle failure model for long-period seismic events recorded at Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-01-30)
A temporary seismic network, consisting of 23 broadband and six short-period stations, wasinstalled in a dense network at Turrialba Volcano, Costa Rica, between 8 March and 4 May 2011. During thistime 513 long-period (LP) ...
Earthquake and tsunami forecasts: Relation of slow slip events to subsequent earthquake rupture
(National Academy of Sciences, 2014-11-17)
The 5 September 2012 Mw 7.6 earthquake on the Costa Rica subduction plate boundary followed a 62-y interseismic period. Highprecision GPS recorded numerous slow slip events (SSEs) in the decade leading up to the earthquake, ...
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 ...
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 ...
