Tectonic deformation from the 2010 Maule (Chile) Mw 8.8 earthquakeincluded both uplift and subsidence along about 470 km of the central Chilean coast. In the south, deformation included as much as 3 m of uplift of the Arauco Peninsula, which produced emergent ...

We compare site-specific response spectra and hazard maps from the recently-updated national seismic hazard model (2010 NSHM) and predecessor NSHM of 2002. The new model incorporates over 200 new onshore and offshore fault sources, and utilises newly-developed ...

Saturday, 27 February 2010, at 6h34 UT, an Earthquake of magnitude 8.8 occurred on the Chilean subduction near the cities of Concepcion, Constitucion and Valparaiso. This event takes place in a long list of earthquakes which have been occurring all along the ...

On Saturday, February 27, 2010, at 03:34 a.m. local time (06:34:14 UTC), an Mw 8.8 earthquake struck the central south region of Chile, affecting an area with a population exceeding eight million people, including 6.1M, 0.8M, and 0.9M in the urban areas around ...

This paper first presents Sm-Nd geochronology that dates garnet growth in quartzofeldspathic gneisses. Second, modeling of compositional zoning in garnet is used to constrain the pressures and temperatures of garnet growth. This paper finally discusses how ...

In this study are constructed finite element models (FEMs) that simulate deformation of the earthquake for a three-dimensional problem domain partitioned to account for the distribution of material properties of the subducting slab, forearc, volcanic arc, ...

<p>During the last two decades, seven devastating earthquakes, chronologically, the 1991 Uttarkashi earthquake (mb 6.6) in the western Himalaya, the1993 Killari (mb 6.3) and the 1997 Jabalpur earthquakes (mb 6.0) in the central part of peninsular India shield ...

<p>Investigations of seven devastating earthquakes have been very useful to understand seismotectonics of theStable Continental Region SCR events and the collision zone and subduction zone events of the Indian subcontinent.</p>

Ground-motion relations for earthquakes that occur in subduction zones<br>are an important input to seismic-hazard analyses in many parts of the world. In the Cascadia region (Washington, Oregon, northern California, and British Columbia), for example, there ...

The understanding of the subduction-related processes benefited by the studies of the high-pressure (HP) metamorphic rocks from the western Alps. The most stimulating information was obtained from the inner part of the western Alpine belt, where most tectonic ...
