A Creep Event on the Shallow Interface of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica Seismogenic Zone
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)
Summary of the paper "A Creep Event on the Shallow Interface of the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica Seismogenic Zone"
Análisis de la actividad sísmica en Costa Rica durante el 2010 y resumen de los eventos sísmicos más importantes presentados en Costa Rica de 1983 - 2012
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2014-01)
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la actividad sísmica registrada por la red sismográfica del OVSICORI-UNA en el año 2010; además de recopilar información de los sismos más importantes sentidos por la población del ...
The intraplate Porto dos Gaúchos seismic zone in the Amazon craton — Brazil
(Elsevier, 2009-01-15)
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 ...
Along-strike variability in the seismogenic zone below Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
(American Geophysical Union, 2002)
At the subduction zone in northwestern Costa Rica, the seismogenic zone lies directly beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, allowing for near source seismic studies of earthquake activity. We located 650 earthquakes along the ...
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 ...
Regional characteristics of observable foreshocks
(Seismological Society of America (SSA), 2022)
Measures of foreshock occurrence are systematically examined using earthquake catalogs for eight regions (Italy, southern California, northern California, Costa Rica, Onshore Japan, Alaska, Turkey, and Greece) after imposing ...
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 ...
