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, ...
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) ...
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 ...
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 ...
Middle to Late Miocene Contractional Deformation in Costa Rica Triggered by Plate Geodynamics
(AGU Publications, 2017-12-11)
Contractional deformation in Costa Rica is usually attributed to the subduction of the aseismic Cocos Ridge. In this work, we review the evidences for contraction in the middle to late Miocene, prior to the arrival of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Yield estimate (230 kt) for a Mueller-Murphy model of the 3 september 2017, North Korean nuclear test (mbNEIC = 6.3) from teleseismic broadband P waves assuming extensive near-source damage
(AGU Advancing Earth and Space Sciences, 2018)
The 3 September 2017 underground nuclear test (mbNEIC= 6.3) is the largest of six announced North Korean explosions. The event generated many P wave seismograms at global broadband seismic stations with good signal-to-noise ...
