Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica
El Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica (OVSICORI)
de la Universidad Nacional, es un instituto de investigación universitaria dedicado a la investigación de los volcanes, los sismos y otros procesos tectónicos, con el propósito de encontrar aplicaciones útiles a la sociedad que ayuden a mitigar los efectos adversos de esos fenómenos al desarrollo económico y social. Se trata de un observatorio, por cuanto una cantidad considerable de su esfuerzo va orientada a documentar la actividad sísmica, volcánica y la deformación cortical que, a su vez, retroalimenta a las actividades investigativas propias de un instituto de investigación universitaria.

Global quieting of high-frequency seismic noise due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2020)Human activity causes vibrations that propagate into the ground as high-frequency seismic waves. Measures to mitigate the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused widespread changes in human activity, leading ... -
Regional characteristics of observable foreshocks

The 27 February 2022 Lop Nor earthquake: detectability, location, and discrimination
(Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2022)A seismic event with mb 4.8 (Mw 4.2) was detected close to the Chinese Lop Nor nuclear test site on 27 February 2022. Waveforms recorded at regional and far regional distances in central Asia indicate greater likeness with ... -
Yield estimates for the six North Korean nuclear tests from teleseismic P wave modeling and intercorrelation of P and Pn recordings
(AGU Advancing Earth and Space Sciences, 2019)The yields of the six declared underground nuclear tests at the North Korean test site are estimated using high-frequency teleseismic P wave amplitude modeling and waveform equalization of short-period teleseismic P waves ... -
OKSP: a novel deep learning automatic event detection pipeline for seismic monitoring in Costa Rica
(Instituto de Ingenieros Eléctricos y Electrónicos (IEEE), 2021)Small magnitude earthquakes are the most abundant but the most difficult to locate robustly and well due to their low amplitudes and high frequencies usually obscured by heterogeneous noise sources. They highlight crucial ... -
Repeating earthquakes record fault weakening and healing in areas of megathrust postseismic slip
(American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS), 2020)Repeating earthquakes (REs) rupture the same fault patches at different times allowing temporal variations in the mechanical behavior of specific areas of the fault to be interrogated over the earthquake cycle. We study ... -
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 ... -
Aftershocks of the 2012 Mw 7.6 Nicoya, Costa Rica, earthquake and mechanics of the plate interface
(Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2017-05-02)Subduction of the Cocos plate beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, generates large underthrusting earthquakes with a recurrence interval of about 50 yrs. The most recent of these events occurred on 5 September 2012 ... -
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 ... -
