Abstract Recent earthquakes in Chile, 2014, Mw 8.2 Iquique, 2015, Mw 8.3 Illapel and 2016,
Mw 7.6 Chiloé have put in evidence some problems with the straightforward application of …

After more than 100 years of earthquake research, earthquake forecasting, which relies on
knowledge of past fault rupture patterns, has become the foundation for societal defense …

So far in this century, six very large–magnitude earthquakes (MW≥ 7.8) have ruptured
separate portions of the subduction zone plate boundary of western South America along …

Historical records of an earthquake that occurred in 1730 affecting Metropolitan Chile
provide essential clues on the source characteristics for the future earthquakes in the region …

Far-field tsunamis and their features, as well as methods to quantify trans-oceanic tsunamis
are reviewed, with examples of instrumental and historical data. Tsunamis from the 1854 …

The Valparaiso 2017 sequence occurred in the Central Chile megathrust, an active zone
where the last mega‐earthquake occurred in 1730. Intense seismicity started 2 days before …

This study quantifies the effects of long-duration earthquakes on the behavior of reinforced
concrete (RC) buildings subjected to successive earthquake-tsunamis through the …

Tsunamis are natural phenomena that, although occasional, can have large impacts on
coastal environments and settlements, especially in terms of loss of life. An accurate …

Over the past few decades, precise satellite positioning measurements have revealed
variations in the deformation of the Earth's surface along the South American subduction …

Geodetically constrained interseismic interplate coupling has been widely used to assess
seismic potential in subduction zones. Modeling interseismic deformation is challenging, as …
