The Nicoya segment of Middle American Trench: an Excellent Target for Drilling and Monitoring the Shallow Portion of the Seismogenic Zone
(2011-06-28)
The Nicoya segment of Middle America Trench has generated large earthquakes in 1883, 1900 and 1950. Since the Nicoya peninsula sits right over the seismogenic zone, it has proved to be a unique site for near field monitoring ...
Combined GPS, EDM and triangulation surveys of the rapid downslope motion of the western flank of Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica
(2011)
Here we present initial conclusions of a one year-long combined geodesy campaign on Arenal Volcano, in Costa Rica (2008-2009). Our data shows evidence for an active local tectonic surrounding, and a 7cm/yr displacement ...

Eventos sísmicos superficiales se presentan en Costa Rica: a) asociados con la subducción de la Placa del Coco bajo la Placa del Caribe y el Bloque de Panamá; b) a lo largo de la zona de fracturas de Panamá; c) como ...
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 ...
