    Seismic Source of 1966 Huacho Peru Earthquake (Mw 8.1) from Tsunami Waveform Inversion

    In this research we estimated the slip distribution of the 1966 Huacho Peru earthquake, by inverting tsunami waveforms. This event took place offshore the central Peru region and produced severe ground shaking...

    A mixed seismic–aseismic stress release episode in the Andean subduction zone

    Subduction zone earthquakes can be followed by aseismic slip. Analysis of fault slip in northern Peru reveals transient aseismic slip that lasted for seven months and released more than 1,000% of the energy ex...

    Motion of continental slivers and cree** subduction in the northern Andes

    Regions of intense continental deformation, termed continental slivers, have been identified in Chile, Bolivia and Ecuador. Analyses of GPS data now identify another large sliver in Peru, the Inca Sliver, that...
