Mechanics of back arc deformation in Costa Rica: Evidence from an aftershock study of the April 22, 1991, Valle de la Estrella, Costa Rica, earthquake (Mw=7.7)
(American Geophysical Union, 1994-10)
The April 22, 1991, Mw=7.7 Valle de la Estrella, Costa Rica, earthquake represents back arc thrusting of the Caribbean plate beneath the Panama block along the North Panama Thrust Belt. Large back arc thrusting events are ...
Constraints on inner forearc deformation from balanced cross sections, Fila Costen˜ a thrust belt, Costa Rica
(American Geophysical Union, 2007-12-21)
The Fila Costeña thrust belt in the forearc of Costa Rica is accommodating a significant portion of the convergence of the Cocos plate and Panama microplate. Geologic mapping of the thrust belt depicts a duplex with three ...
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 ...
