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 ...

undergraduate students from 14 institutions ...
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 ...
