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 …

Geodesy, the oldest science, has become an important discipline in the geosciences, in
large part by enhancing Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities over the last 35 years …

Subduction zone plate boundary megathrust faults accommodate relative plate motions with
spatially varying sliding behavior. The 2004 Sumatra‐Andaman (Mw 9.2), 2010 Chile (Mw …

Geophysical observations from the 2011 moment magnitude (M w) 9.0 Tohoku-Oki, Japan
earthquake allow exploration of a rare large event along a subduction megathrust. Models …

The largest tectonic relief breaking the Earth's surface (13 km vertically) is at the subduction
margin of the Andes, which generates routinely megathrust earthquakes (Mw> 8.5) and …

Here, I present a database of> 160 finite fault models for all earthquakes of M 7.5 and above
since 1990, created using a consistent modeling approach. The use of a common approach …

The recent expansion of dense GPS networks over plate boundaries allows for remarkably
precise mapping of interseismic coupling along active faults. The interseismic coupling …

Subduction zone megathrust faults host Earth's largest earthquakes, along with multitudes of
smaller events that contribute to plate convergence. An understanding of the faulting …

This study focuses on resolving moderate amounts of crustal motion at the continental scale
based on a large volume of global positioning system (GPS) data during 1998–2014. A state …

The Maule earthquake of 27th February 2010 (Mw= 8.8) affected~ 500km of the Nazca-
South America plate boundary in south-central Chile producing spectacular crustal …
