Chile is a tsunami-prone country. Since the 1960 Chilean earthquake triggered a Pacific-
wide tsunami, there has been a considerable amount of research conducted on the geologic …

Studying palaeotsunamis is important to the comprehensive understanding of these events
and their role in the geological evolution of the coasts of oceans and seas. The present work …

Over the past few decades, precise satellite positioning measurements have revealed
variations in the deformation of the Earth's surface along the South American subduction …

On 16 September 2015, the M w 8.3 Illapel megathrust earthquake broke the subduction
contact of the Nazca plate beneath the South American plate, causing unexpectedly high …

The coast of Chile has been exposed to marine submersion events from storm surges,
tsunamis and flooding due to heavy rains. We present evidence of these events using …

Abstract The 2015 Illapel earthquake (Mw 8.3) generated a tsunami that significantly
impacted the central-north Chilean coast. Previous studies have utilized numerical …

Geological evidence of megathrust earthquakes along the Mexican Pacific coast relies
predominantly on tsunami deposits. Records of coseismic relative sea-level changes are …

This study used sedimentary archives obtained from a high-standing terrace along the
coastal zone of the Coquimbo region to reconstruct past extreme events (floods and …

Our stratigraphic and paleontological investigations revealed three sandy event deposits
(E1, E2, and E3) within peaty clay at the Sotomeyachi site on the Japan Sea coast of …

El estudio del registro geológico de paleotsunamis permite evaluar el impacto, el alcance y
la recurrencia de este tipo de eventos en el pasado y, en consecuencia, contribuir en la …
