Duration-amplitude distribution of volcanic tremor
(American Geophysical Union, 2003)
The duration-amplitude distribution of volcanic tremor was examined in eight volcanoes and one geothermal area. An exponential model, implying a scale-bound source process, is found to be a better fit to the data than a ...
A comparison of different indirect techniques to evaluate volcanic intact rock strength
(Springer, 2009)
The efficiency of different methods that are used to evaluate volcanic intact rock strength is compared that includes Schmidt hammers, point load tests and uniaxial compression tests. The Schmidt hammer records the rebound ...
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 ...

The largest earthquake observed in the stable continental interior of the South American plate occurred in Serra do Tombador, Mato Grosso state — Brazil, on January 31, 1955 with a magnitude of 6.2 mb. Since then no other ...
Fluid geochemistry and seismic activity in the period 1998-2002 at Turrialba Volcano: Costa Rica
(Universidad de Florencia, Italia, 2004)
Turrialba Volcano, located in Central-Southern Costa Rica, has been characterized, since the last period of eruptive activity in 1884-1886, by a weak and discontinuous fumarolic activity in the western area of its summit. ...

International geosciences field research with undergraduate students: Three models for experiential learning projects investigating active tectonics of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
(Geological Society of America, 2009)
International field experiences offer exceptional opportunities for effective student
learning in the geosciences. Over the 10 yr period between 1998 and 2008, more than 40
undergraduate students from 14 institutions ...
