Delayed triggering of early aftershocks by multiple surface waves circling the earth
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08-27)It is well known that direct surface waves of large earthquakes are capable of triggering shallow earthquakes and deep tremor at long-range distances. Recent studies have shown that multiple surface waves circling the ... -
Earthquake Frequency-Magnitude Distribution and Interface Locking at the Middle America Subduction Zone near Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-06-21)Subduction zone megathrusts produce the majority of the world's largest earthquakes. To understand the processes that control seismicity here, it is important to improve our knowledge on the subduction interface characteristics ... -
Improved understanding of extent and size of tsunamigenic earthquakes through geodetic and tsunami datasets
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-04-05)This dissertation seeks to constrain the rupture size and magnitude of tsunamigenic earthquakes through the inclusion of data from both traditional geodetic instruments and recently deployed open-ocean tsunami gauges. ... -
Postseismic response following the 2012 Mw 7.6 Nicoya, Costa Rica earthquake
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-03-27)Characterization of the surface deformation related to the 2012 moment magnitude (Mw) 7.6 Nicoya earthquake was undertaken using continuous and campaign Global Positioning System (GPS) observations. This location is uniquely ...
