A Collaborative Effort Between Caribbean States for Tsunami Numerical Modeling: Case Study CaribeWave15
(Pure and Applied Geophysics vol.175 no.2 1405-1428 2017, 2017)
Historical records have shown that tsunami have affected the Caribbean region in the past. However infrequent, recent studies have demonstrated that they pose a latent hazard for countries within this basin. The Hazard ...
Tsunamis from Tectonic Sources along Caribbean Plate Boundaries
(2015)
The Caribbean region, home to more than 100 million people, has seen for the last 500 years at Least 75 documented tsunamis (von Hillebrandt-Andrade, 2013). It has been estimated that more than 4500 people have perished ...
Numerical Simulation of Several Tectonic Tsunami Sources at the Caribbean Basin
(2016)
According to the NGDC/WDS Global Historical Tsunami Database, the Caribbean Sea has experienced more than 100 historical tsunamis. The most recent tsunami observed in this basin was caused by the 2010 Haity Mw 7.0 earthquake ...
Historical Tsunamis at the Costa Rican Caribbean Coast
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2021-04-22)
Aún cuando los tsunamis son poco frecuentes en el Caribe de Costa Rica, pueden llegar a ser destructivos. En Costa Rica existe la creencia errónea de que no hemos tenido tsunamis. Sin embargo, los autores encontraron ...
Análisis de la población de condrictios (Vertebrata: Chondrichthyes) de aguas demersales y profundas del Caribe centroamericano, a partir de faenas de prospección pesquera con redes de arrastre
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2014-12)
Se describen la abundancia, riqueza, diversidad y distribución de las especies de condrictios de profundidad, capturadas en campaña de prospección pesquera del B/O Miguel Oliver en la plataforma y el talud continental de ...
Características termohalinas de las aguas costeras del Caribe sur de Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2015-12)
En agosto y noviembre del año 2012, se realizaron dos campañas hidrográficas en la zona costera del Ca ribe sur de Costa Rica, entre el Puerto de Limón y la Laguna de Gandoca. Se utilizó un CTD (perfilador de conductividad, ...
Description of chlorophyll <i>a</i> spatial distribution, temperature and salinity on the continental shelf and slope of the Central American Caribbean
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2017-01)
Con la coordinación regional de la Organización del Sector Pesquero y Acuícola del Istmo Centroamericano (OS-PESCA), se llevó a cabo del 3 de enero al 3 de febrero del año 2011 una campaña ...
Groundwater recharge mechanisms inferred from isoscapes in a complex tropical mountainous region
(AGU Publications, 2016-05-23)
Stable isotope variations and groundwater recharge mechanisms remain poorly understood across the tropics, particularly in Central America. Here stable isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) in groundwater, surface water, and rainfall ...
Environmental isotope applications in Latin America and the Caribbean region
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-11)
This Special Issue illustrates the use of environmental isotopes in studying and assessing hydrogeological and ecohydrological issues in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region. The issue includes twenty selected ...
Rainfall, groundwater, and surface water isotope data from extreme tropical cyclones (2016-2019) within the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean basins
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
Under a changing climate, projections estimate that over the next thirty years, extreme Tropical Cyclones (TCs) will increase in frequency, with two to three times more Category 4 and 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic basin ...
