The tailings dam failure of 5 November 2015 in SE Brazil and its preceding seismic sequence
The collapse of a mine tailings dam and subsequent flood in SE Brazil on 5 November 2015
was preceded by a small‐magnitude seismic sequence. In this report, we explore the …

Intraplate seismicity in mid-plate South America: correlations with geophysical lithospheric parameters
Abstract Mid-plate South America remains one of the least-studied regions of intraplate
seismicity. Little is known about the origin and controlling factors that make this area the …

Causes of intraplate seismicity in central Brazil from travel time seismic tomography
New results of travel time seismic tomography in central Brazil provide evidence that the
relatively high seismicity in this region is related to the thinner lithosphere at the limit …
