Abstract Meteorological tsunamis (“meteotsunamis”) are hazardous tsunami-like waves of
atmospheric origin. They have typical periods from a few minutes to about 3 h and typical …

Coastal erosion in 45 sandy beaches covering nearly 2000 km along the tectonically active
Chilean coast is assessed during the last four decades. The historical analysis is based on …

Sandy coastlines are very dynamic spaces affected by a variety of natural and human
factors. In Central Chile, changes in oceanographic and wave conditions, modes of inter …

Abstract The coastal Atacama Desert is exposed to strong earthquakes and giant tsunamis
associated with the subduction of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate …

Abstract On September 16, 2015, a M w 8.3 earthquake struck the north-central Chile coast,

Coastal tourism developed along the Valparaíso region of Chile is being threatened by a
very particular issue: scenery degradation related to extreme urbanization and collateral …

Economic costs associated to coastal erosion are projected in 45 sandy beaches in Chilean
coasts. We compare mid-century (2026–2045) and end-of-century projections (2081–2100) …

A Late Holocene cliff‐top deposit of large boulders well above the limits of modern storm
waves is described from the southern coast of the Atacama Desert (northern Chile). The …

This study used the coupled ocean-atmosphere regional model (COAWST) to evaluate the
effect of the trapped wave formed by a frontal system over the Southern Brazilian …

Meteotsunamis are shallow-water waves that, despite often being small (~ 0.3 m), can cause
damage, injuries, and fatalities due to relatively strong currents (> 1 ms− 1). Previous case …
