Isla del Coco, on Cocos Plate, converges with Isla de San Andrés, on the Caribbean Plate, at 78mm/yr
(Revista de Biologia Tropical, 2012-11)
Isla del Coco is the only land mass of the Cocos Plate that emerges above sea level. This makes it the only place where Cocos Plate motion can be measured using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) monitoring. Global ...
Constraints on upper mantle anisotropy surrounding the Cocos slab from SK(K)S splitting
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-06-24)
SKS and SKKS splitting observations are used to constrain the pattern of mantle flow
in the Central American subduction zone beneath Costa Rica and Nicaragua. After
removing the effects of shallow wedge anisotropy on ...
Crustal Velocity Anomalies in Costa Rica from Ambient Noise Tomography
(Springer Nature, 2019-08-24)
We derive group velocity maps for crustal Rayleigh waves across Costa Rica and corresponding 3-D shear-wave velocity structure from ambient noise cross-correlations between 56 seismic broadband stations. The daily inter-station ...
