Interseismic coupling, megathrust earthquakes and seismic swarms along the Chilean subduction zone (38–18 S)

M Metois, C Vigny, A Socquet - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2016 - Springer
The recent expansion of dense GPS networks over plate boundaries allows for remarkably
precise mapping of interseismic coupling along active faults. The interseismic coupling …

The 1 April 2014 Iquique, Chile, Mw 8.1 earthquake rupture sequence

T Lay, H Yue, EE Brodsky, C An - Geophysical Research …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract On 1 April 2014, a great (Mw 8.1) interplate thrust earthquake ruptured in the

Intense interface seismicity triggered by a shallow slow slip event in the Central Ecuador subduction zone

M Vallée, JM Nocquet, J Battaglia… - Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We document a 1 week long slow slip event (SSE) with an equivalent moment magnitude of
6.0–6.3 which occurred in August 2010 below La Plata Island (Ecuador), south of the rupture …

Thermal, deformation, and degassing remote sensing time series (CE 2000–2017) at the 47 most active volcanoes in Latin America: Implications for volcanic systems

K Reath, M Pritchard, M Poland… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Volcanoes are hazardous to local and global populations, but only a fraction are
continuously monitored by ground‐based sensors. For example, in Latin America, more than …

Areas prone to slow slip events impede earthquake rupture propagation and promote afterslip

F Rolandone, JM Nocquet, PA Mothes, P Jarrin… - Science …, 2018 - science.org
At subduction zones, transient aseismic slip occurs either as afterslip following a large
earthquake or as episodic slow slip events during the interseismic period. Afterslip and slow …

Recognizing foreshocks from the 1 April 2014 Chile earthquake

EE Brodsky, T Lay - Science, 2014 - science.org
Are there measurable, distinctive precursors that can warn us in advance of the planet's
largest earthquakes? Foreshocks have long been considered the most promising …

Subducted oceanic relief locks the shallow megathrust in central Ecuador

JY Collot, E Sanclemente, JM Nocquet… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Whether subducted oceanic reliefs such as seamounts promote seismic rupture or aseismic
slip remains controversial. Here we use swath bathymetry, prestack depth‐migrated …
