Gravity Variations in Central Chile

1993
Results corresponding to variations of the vertical component of gravity, associated with the March 3, 1985 earthquake are here reported. These processes frequently involve surface modifications near the rupture zone, which can be detected by means of precise gravimetric measurements. In Central Chile, the area affected by the March 1985 earthquake was

The Mediterranean Environment of Central Chile

2007
The Mediterranean-type environment of South America, broadly defined as the continental area characterized by winter rainfall and summer drought, is confined to a narrow band about 1,000 km long on the western side of the Andes in north-central Chile (Arroyo et al., 1995, 1999).

Seismicity clusters in Central Chile

2021
Seismicity along subduction interfaces is usually dominated by large main-shock-aftershock sequences indicative of a continuum distribution of highly coupled large asperities. In the past decades, however, the increased resolution of seismic catalogues at some subduction zone seems to indicate instead a more complex rheological segmentation of the ...

Land Use Changes and Conflicts in Central Chile

1998
In mediterranean-climate regions (MCRs), historical and geographical as well as ecological approaches are needed to elucidate processes and patterns occurring at that rarely defined level of complexity called “landscape”. In the case of Chile, a glance at the past five centuries of history is particularly crucial to the understanding of the various ...

Forest Dynamics in South-Central Chile

Journal of Biogeography, 1981
Forest structure and dynamics are analysed and compared for No thofagus-dominated forests in the Andes and for forests lacking Nothofagus in the Coastal Cordillera of the Province of Valdivia (c. 400S latitude), Chile. At mid-elevation (c. 600-950 m) in the Andes, even-aged Nothofagus stands develop on sites devastated by mass movements and volcanic ...
