Seismic hazard modeling is a multidisciplinary science that aims to forecast earthquake
occurrence and its resultant ground shaking. Such models consist of a probabilistic …

Abstract The heterogeneous South American geology has coined a wide variety of
neotectonic settings where crustal seismogenic sources do occur. This fact has led to …

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 …

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 …

Megathrust ruptures and the ensuing postseismic deformation cause stress changes that
may induce seismicity on upper plate crustal faults far from the coseismic rupture area. In …

Subduction ground motions in northern South America are about a factor of 2 smaller than
the ground motions for similar events in other regions. Nevertheless, historical and recent …

We provide a dataset of the landslides induced by the 2016 Pedernales megathrust
earthquake, Ecuador (Mw 7.8, focal depth of 20 km) and compare their spatial distribution …

Crustal earthquakes are some of the main contributors to the seismic hazard in northern
South America (NoSAm). There is evidence of historical crustal events with epicenters near …

Based on new geological data and the analysis of a 4 m spatial resolution Digital Elevation
Model (DEM), we provide a detailed and comprehensive description of section of the …

Abstract Background Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) is a leading
methodology for determining key ground motion parameters such as Peak Ground …
