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 …

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

P-to-S converted waves at the continental Moho together with waves multiply reflected
between the Earth's surface and the Moho have been used to estimate the Moho depth and …

To address the problem of the great variability of the mechanical state of subduction zones,
we investigate the mechanics of back arc spreading and seismic decoupling. Back arc …

In this review article, we compile seismological observations from the different constituent
parts of the Northern Chile forearc: the downgoing Nazca Plate, the plate interface, the …

The nature of seismic coupling for many of the world's subduction zones has been
reevaluated. Geodetic estimates of seismic coupling obtained from GPS measurements of …

No major earthquake occurred in North Chile since the 1877 M w 8.6 subduction earthquake
that produced a huge tsunami. However, geodetic measurements conducted over the last …

Measurement of interseismic strain along subduction zones reveals the location of both
locked asperities, which might rupture during megathrust earthquakes, and creeping zones …

Both the genesis and rates of activity of shallow intraplate seismic activity in central Chile are
poorly understood, mainly because of the lack of association of seismicity with recognizable …

Abstract An Mw= 8.0 earthquake occurred on 30 July 1995 in the Antofagasta region
(northern Chile). The main rupture, corresponding to thrust faulting, developed from 10 to 50 …
