The Chilean GNSS network: Current status and progress toward early warning applications
Chile is one of the world's most seismically active regions and is therefore extensively
studied by the earthquake sciences. The great length of the country hosts a variety of …

The 1877 megathrust earthquake of North Chile two times smaller than thought? A review of ancient articles
Abstract The 1877 North Chile megathrust earthquake is commonly considered as one of
the largest historical earthquakes that occurred on the Chilean subduction zone. The …

Interseismic coupling, megathrust earthquakes and seismic swarms along the Chilean subduction zone (38–18 S)
The recent expansion of dense GPS networks over plate boundaries allows for remarkably
precise mapping of interseismic coupling along active faults. The interseismic coupling …

Continuing megathrust earthquake potential in Chile after the 2014 Iquique earthquake
The seismic gap theory identifies regions of elevated hazard based on a lack of recent
seismicity in comparison with other portions of a fault. It has successfully explained past …
