Geodiversity is the variety of earth materials, forms and processes that constitute and shape
the Earth planet. Therefore, geodiversity includes essential for develo** nature-based …

Large earthquakes are usually assumed to release all of the strain accumulated since the
previous event, implying a reduced seismic hazard after them. However, long records of …

A new view of Ecuador's complex geodynamics has been developed in the course of
modeling seismic source zones for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. This study focuses …

The inventory and assessment of a geosite in a territory provides a sound basis for the
protection and use of its geological heritage. This article aims to evaluate the most relevant …

SUMMARY Northwestern South America is a plate boundary zone where the Nazca,
Caribbean and South American plates interact to produce a wide area of active continental …

We present a comprehensive probabilistic seismic hazard study for Ecuador, a country
exposed to a high seismic hazard from megathrust subduction earthquakes and moderate …

The subduction of bathymetric highs, such as aseismic ridges, leads to far‐reaching
changes in the dynamics of subduction zones with increased plate coupling and …

Seismically induced soil liquefaction has been documented after the M7. 8, 2016
Pedernales earthquake. In the city of Jama, the acceleration recorded by soil amplification …

Abstract The Chilean Andes, as a characteristic tectonic and geomorphological region, is a
perfect location to unravel the geologic nature of seismic hazards. The Chilean segment of …

Recent exploration has identified a series of Cu-Mo skarn deposits within the Xuancheng-
Magushan orefield. The orefield forms part of the Nanling-Xuancheng mining district, which …
