The Nicoya segment of Middle American Trench: an Excellent Target for Drilling and Monitoring the Shallow Portion of the Seismogenic Zone
(2011-06-28)
The Nicoya segment of Middle America Trench has generated large earthquakes in 1883, 1900 and 1950. Since the Nicoya peninsula sits right over the seismogenic zone, it has proved to be a unique site for near field monitoring ...
Combined GPS, EDM and triangulation surveys of the rapid downslope motion of the western flank of Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica
(2011)
Here we present initial conclusions of a one year-long combined geodesy campaign on Arenal Volcano, in Costa Rica (2008-2009). Our data shows evidence for an active local tectonic surrounding, and a 7cm/yr displacement ...
