Carbon and sulfur isotopes in tree rings as a proxy for volcanic degassing
(Geological Society of America, 2019-07-05)Trees are useful archives of past atmospheric conditions. They have most commonly been used to infer large-scale changes in climate, industrial pollution, and the magnitude and frequency of geological hazards. While ... -
Carbon isotope systematics of Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica, using a portable cavity ring-down spectrometer
(AGU Publications, 2017-07-27)Over the past two decades, activity at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica, has shifted from hydrothermal to increasingly magmatic in character, with enhanced degassing and eruption potential. We have conducted a survey of the ... -
Chlorine isotope and Cl–Br fractionation in fluids of Poás volcano (Costa Rica): Insight into an active volcanic–hydrothermal system
(Elsevier, 2016-10-01)Halogen-rich volcanic fluids issued at the surface carry information on properties and processes operating in shallow hydrothermal systems. This paper reports a long-term record of Cl–Br concentrations and δ37Cl signatures ... -
Co-ideation of disaster preparedness strategies through a participatory design approach: Challenges and opportunities experienced at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2015)Disaster preparedness is key to coping and adaptation during the immediate aftermath of a natural hazard, but the majority of those at risk do not feel prepared. In this participatory action research we investigate the ... -
Coda wave attenuation in the Parecis Basin, Amazon Craton, Brazil: sensitivity to basement depth
(Springer, 2011)Small local earthquakes from two aftershock sequences in Porto dos Gaúchos, Amazon craton—Brazil, were used to estimate the coda wave attenuation in the frequency band of 1 to 24 Hz. The time-domain coda-decay method of ... -
Comparación de la composición química de partículas PM10 y PM2,5 colectadas en ambientes urbanos y zonas volcánicas del área metropolitana de Costa Rica
(Revista Ciencias Ambientales, 2014-12)Se muestrearon, en forma simultánea, partículas PM10 y PM2,5 en ambientes urbanos y volcánicos del área metropolitana de Costa Rica, durante octubre y noviembre de 2012. En las áreas industriales y comerciales de alto flujo ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Constraints on upper mantle anisotropy surrounding the Cocos slab from SK(K)S splitting
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-06-24)SKS and SKKS splitting observations are used to constrain the pattern of mantle flow in the Central American subduction zone beneath Costa Rica and Nicaragua. After removing the effects of shallow wedge anisotropy on ... -
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 ... -
Crustal Velocity Anomalies in Costa Rica from Ambient Noise Tomography
(Springer Nature, 2019-08-24)We derive group velocity maps for crustal Rayleigh waves across Costa Rica and corresponding 3-D shear-wave velocity structure from ambient noise cross-correlations between 56 seismic broadband stations. The daily inter-station ... -
Drones Swoop in to Measure Gas Belched from Volcanoes
(EOS. Science News by AGU, 2018-07-25)Los gases volcánicos son importantes herramientas de pronóstico de erupciones que se utilizan a menudo en el monitoreo de volcanes. Sin embargo, la recolección de muestras de gas requiere que los científicos ingresen a ... -
Duration-amplitude distribution of volcanic tremor
(American Geophysical Union, 2003)The duration-amplitude distribution of volcanic tremor was examined in eight volcanoes and one geothermal area. An exponential model, implying a scale-bound source process, is found to be a better fit to the data than a ... -
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, ... -
Eruptive activity at Turrialba volcano (Costa Rica): Inferences from 3He/4He in fumarole gases and chemistry of the products ejected during 2014 and 2015
(AGU Publications, 2016)A new period of eruptive activity started at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica, in 2010 after almost 150 years of quiescence. This activity has been characterized by sporadic explosions whose frequency clearly increased since ... -
Estimating tsunami potential of earthquakes in the Sumatra-Andaman region based on broadband seismograms in India
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica., 2012)In this paper, we report that the ratio of broadband energy (0.01–2 Hz) to highfrequency energy (0.3–2 Hz), Er, estimated from regional seismograms of India, might be a useful parameter in estimating tsunami potential of ... -
Extremely high diversity of sulfate minerals in caves of the Irazú Volcano (Costa Rica) related to crater lake and fumarolic activity
(International Journal of Speleology, 2018-05)The caves of the Irazú volcano (Costa Rica), became accessible after the partial collapse of the NW sector of the Irazú volcano in 1994, offering the opportunity to investigate active minerogenetic processes in volcanic ... -
