Thermoplasmatales and sulfur‑oxidizing bacteria dominate the microbial community at the surface water of a CO2‑rich hydrothermal spring located in Tenorio Volcano National Park, Costa Rica
(Extremophiles, 2019-01-01)
Here we report the chemical and microbial characterization of the surface water of a CO2-rich hydrothermal vent known in Costa Rica as Borbollones, located at Tenorio Volcano National Park. The Borbollones showed a temperature ...
Mechanisms of Unrest and Eruption at Persistently Restless Volcanoes: Insights From the 2015 Eruption of Telica Volcano, Nicaragua
(Advancing Earh and Space Science, 2019)
Many of Earth's volcanoes experience well‐defined states of “quiescence” and “unrest,” with unrest occasionally culminating in eruption. Some volcanoes, however, experience an unusually protracted (i.e., decades‐long) ...
Insights on Hydrothermal‐Magmatic Interactions and Eruptive Processes at Poás Volcano (Costa Rica) From High‐Frequency Gas Monitoring and Drone Measurements
(AGU Publications, 2019-02-06)
Identification of unambiguous signals of volcanic unrest is crucial in hazard assessment. Processes leading to phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions remain poorly understood, inhibiting effective eruption forecasting. Our ...
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 ...
Insights Into the Mechanisms of Phreatic Eruptions From Continuous High Frequency Volcanic Gas Monitoring: Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, Costa Rica
(Frontiers Media, 2019-01-11)
Understanding the trigger mechanisms of phreatic eruptions is key to mitigating the
effects of these hazardous but poorly forecastable volcanic events. It has recently been
established that high-rate volcanic gas ...
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 ...
Yield estimates for the six North Korean nuclear tests from teleseismic P wave modeling and intercorrelation of P and Pn recordings
(AGU Advancing Earth and Space Sciences, 2019)
The yields of the six declared underground nuclear tests at the North Korean test site are estimated using high-frequency teleseismic P wave amplitude modeling and waveform equalization of short-period teleseismic P waves ...
