The cryptic seismic potential of the Pichilemu blind fault in Chile revealed by off-fault geomorphology

J. Jara-muñoz, D. Melnick, et al.

Discover the groundbreaking research on the previously unknown Pichilemu Fault in Chile, which caused a significant Mw 7.0 earthquake in 2010. This study, conducted by J. Jara-Muñoz and colleagues, estimates a fault-slip rate and recurrence time for normal-faulting earthquakes that could change our understanding of seismic hazards in the region.... show more
