Sismo de Capellades 01 diciembre 2016, Cartago, Costa Rica
(REVISTA GEOGRÁFICA DE AMÉRICA CENTRAL, 2018)
En este trabajo se hace una descripción de la fuente sísmica del sismo de Capellades, provincia de Cartago, Costa Rica, del 1 de diciembre de 2016, 00:25:20 hora UTC. Se estudian los parámetros de la fuente, centroide, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Análisis de la actividad sísmica en Costa Rica durante el 2010 y resumen de los eventos sísmicos más importantes presentados en Costa Rica de 1983 - 2012
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2014-01)
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la actividad sísmica registrada por la red sismográfica del OVSICORI-UNA en el año 2010; además de recopilar información de los sismos más importantes sentidos por la población del ...
Isla del Coco, on Cocos Plate, converges with Isla de San Andrés, on the Caribbean Plate, at 78mm/yr
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2012-11)
Isla del Coco is the only land mass of the Cocos Plate that emerges above sea level. This makes it the only place where Cocos Plate motion can be measured using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) monitoring. Global ...
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 ...
