The 2022 Seismic Hazard Model for Costa Rica
(2023-02)Costa Rica is located at the boundary of four tectonic plates where the regularity of destruc tive earthquakes highlights the necessity of seismic hazard estimations. This study contains the most recent Probabilistic ... -
The last step of the volcanic unrest in Turrialba volcano: a new stage of magmatic eruptions
(2015)In 1864-1866, Turrialba volcano had a strombolian eruption with some phases of phreatic and phreatomagmatic activity, that covered the Central Valley of Costa Rica with a variable thickness of ash. During this eruption, ... -

(2018-03)The National Seismological Network of Costa Rica (RSN) is a joint effort between the University of Costa Rica (UCR) and the Costa Rican Institute of Electricity (ICE). In this article, we briefly describe its history, ... -
The record of the transition from an oceanic arc to a young continent in the Talamanca Cordillera
(2020-07)The Talamanca Cordillera in the Central America Arc (Costa Rica‐Panama) preserves the record of the geochemical evolution from an intraoceanic arc to a juvenile continental arc in an active subduction zone, making it a ... -
The seismically active Andean and Central American margins: Can satellite gravity map lithospheric structures?
(2011-11-17)The spatial resolution and quality of geopotential models (EGM2008, EIGEN-5C, ITG-GRACE03s, and GOCO-01s) have been assessed as applied to lithospheric structure of the Andean and Central American subduction zones. For the ... -
Time-Dependent Spatial Amplitude Patterns of Harmonic Tremor at Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica: Seismic-Wave Interferences?
(2012-12-01)Seismograms recorded at the receivers of a small‐aperture seismic array usually display very similar waveforms and amplitudes, as a consequence of their close proximity. During the analysis of the volcanic tremor wave field ... -
