The Mw 6.4 Damas, Costa Rica, Earthquake of 20 November 2004: Aftershocks and Slip Distribution
(Seismological Society of America, 2006-08)
The earthquake of 20 November 2004 was located north of Damas Island in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, within the Costa Rica Deformed Belt. The earthquake was located at 24 km depth and reported with a magnitude (Mw) of ...
Along-strike variability in the seismogenic zone below Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
At the subduction zone in northwestern Costa Rica, the seismogenic zone lies directly beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, allowing for near source seismic studies of earthquake activity. We located 650 earthquakes along the ...
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 ...
The geometry of the Wadati-Benioff zone under southern Central America and its tectonic significance: results from a high-resolution local seismographic network
(Elsevier, 1994)
We present here a detailed geometry of the Wadati—Benioff zone under Costa Rica, obtained from seismicity recorded by a dense local seismographic network jointly operated by the Costa Rica Volcanological and Seismological ...
Monitoring transient changes within overpressured regions of subduction zones using ambient seismic noise
(American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS), 2016)
In subduction zones, elevated pore fluid pressure, generally linked to metamorphic dehydration reactions, has a profound influence on the mechanical behavior of the plate interface and forearc crust through its control on ...
Regional characteristics of observable foreshocks
(Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2022)
Measures of foreshock occurrence are systematically examined using earthquake catalogs for eight regions (Italy, southern California, northern California, Costa Rica, Onshore Japan, Alaska, Turkey, and Greece) after imposing ...
