Seismicity and seismically active faulting of Guatemala: A review
M Guzman-Speziale, E Molina - Journal of South American Earth Sciences, 2022 - Elsevier
We present a review of the main sources of seismicity of Guatemala. The largest seismically
active faults are related to the transform, left-lateral, North America-Caribbean plate …

Natural and anthropogenic sources of lead, zinc, and nickel in sediments of Lake Izabal, Guatemala
Abstract Sediments in Lake Izabal, Guatemala, contain substantial lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and
nickel (Ni). The lack of historical data for heavy metal concentrations in the sediments makes …
