Carbon isotope systematics of Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica, using a portable cavity ring-down spectrometer
(AGU Publications, 2017-07-27)
Over the past two decades, activity at Turrialba volcano, Costa Rica, has shifted from hydrothermal to increasingly magmatic in character, with enhanced degassing and eruption potential. We have conducted a survey of the ...
Space- and ground-based measurements of sulphur dioxide emissions from Turrialba Volcano (Costa Rica)
(Springer Verlag, 2012-06-21)
Remotely sensed measurements of sulphur dioxide (SO2) emitted by Turrialba Volcano (Costa Rica) are reported for the period September 2009–January 2011. Thesemeasurements were obtained using images from Advanced Spaceborne ...
Los riesgos y desastres naturales en la cotidianidad de los barrios de Lepanto, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica., 2018)
El presente artículo nace en el marco del proyecto “Educación para la prevención de riesgos naturales” utilizado como parte del proceso de extensión y docencia de Instituto de Investigación Observatorio Vulcanológico y ...
Seismic cycle and plate margin deformation in Costa Rica: GPS observations from 1994 to 1997
(American Geophysical Union, 1999-12-10)
Global Positioning System (GPS) observations in Costa Rica from 1994 to 1997 reveal a complex pattern of motion consistent with the superposition of seismic cycle and secular
plate margin deformation. In the south, velocity ...
Analysis of seismic and acoustic observations at Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica, 1995–1997
(Elsevier Science, 2000-08)
In November 1995, we installed five, three-component broadband seismometers and electronic tiltmeters around the circumference of Arenal Volcano, a young stratovolcano in Costa Rica that exhibits strombolian activity. With ...
La actividad explosiva del volcán Turrialba (Costa Rica) en el período 2010 - 2016
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2016-12-18)
The most recent eruptive activity of Turrialba volcano began on the 5th of January 2010, after more than a century of dormancy. The fragmentation process and aerodynamic behavior of the ash from Turrialba’s vulcanian ...
Carbon and sulfur isotopes in tree rings as a proxy for volcanic degassing
(Geological Society of America, 2019-07-05)
Trees are useful archives of past atmospheric conditions. They have most commonly been used to infer large-scale changes in climate, industrial pollution, and the magnitude and frequency of geological hazards. While ...
Are the ashes from the latest eruptions (2010–2016) at Turrialba volcano (Costa Rica) related to phreatic or phreatomagmatic events?
(Elsevier, 2016-09-15)
The initial eruptive episodes of explosive eruptions are classified as phreatic if the amount of juvenile material (scoria, glass, pumice) is null, and the amount of fresh accidental lithics, and hydrothermally altered ...
A New Sulfur and Carbon Degassing Inventory for the Southern Central American Volcanic Arc: The Importance of Accurate Time-Series Data Sets and Possible Tectonic Processes Responsible for Temporal Variations in Arc-Scale Volatile Emissions
(AGU Publications, 2017-12-12)
This work presents a new database of SO2 and CO2 fluxes from the Southern Central American Volcanic Arc (SCAVA) for the period 2015–2016. We report 300 SO2 flux measurements from 10 volcanoes and gas ratios from 11 volcanoes ...
Seismogenic zone structure beneath the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, from three-dimensional local earthquake P- and S-wave tomography
(Geophysical Journal International, 2006)
The subduction plate interface along the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica, generates damaging large (Mw > 7.5) earthquakes. We present hypocenters and 3-D seismic velocity models (VP and VP/VS) calculated using simultaneous ...
